    Mesoscale Discussion 1603
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1252 PM CDT Sun Jul 12 2026

    Areas affected...portions of the lower Mississippi Valley into the
    Southeast

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 121752Z - 121945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Widely scattered strong to occasionally severe
    thunderstorms may bring a low probability risk for localized
    damaging downburst wind gusts.

    DISCUSSION...Increasingly agitated cumulus, and a few isolated
    thunderstorms, were evident on visible satellite and regional radar
    imagery across the lower Mississippi Valley and portions of the
    Southeast/Gulf Coast as of 1750 UTC. This activity is located within
    a warm and moist low-level air mass to the south of a surface
    frontal boundary. Aided by forcing for ascent ahead of a mid-level
    shortwave trough, convection is forecast to increase in coverage
    over the next several hours, with the greatest coverage likely to
    occur where any consolidated cold pools intersect the
    inland-progressing sea breeze later this afternoon/evening. Slightly
    cooler surface temperatures should yield marginally weaker low-level
    lapse rates (relative to areas farther east); however, localized
    damaging downburst winds may still occur given PW near 2 inches
    across the region. This threat is expected to remain too isolated to
    warrant watch issuance.
