    Areas affected...Parts of central MS into west-central/northwest AL

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 640...

    Valid 250942Z - 251115Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 640 continues.

    SUMMARY...A localized wind-damage and tornado threat will continue
    through early morning.

    DISCUSSION...An earlier organized line segment has taken on a more
    southwest to northeast orientation across parts of central MS,
    parallel to the outflow-reinforced baroclinic zone that continues to
    sag southeastward. A supercell has developed southeast of this line
    segment and baroclinic zone, and may pose at least a short-term
    tornado threat, given the presence of modest buoyancy (MLCAPE of
    500-1000 J/kg) and favorable low-level shear (0-1 km SRH of greater
    than 300 m2/s2) and moisture. Otherwise, the larger-scale QLCS may
    pose a threat for locally damaging wind and a line-embedded tornado
    as it moves eastward.=20

    Farther north, a north-south oriented line segment has recently
    developed across far northwest AL, along the northeast periphery the
    larger storm cluster. While this line segment is currently moving
    through an environment with scant surface-based buoyancy, some
    increase in MLCAPE is possible with time as seasonably rich moisture
    continues to stream northward. With strong low/midlevel flow in
    place, this line segment could pose a threat for locally
    strong/damaging gusts, and perhaps a brief tornado along the
    southern portion of the line as it impinges upon increasingly
    prevalent mid 60s F dewpoints.=20

    While the remaining severe threat may tend to remain somewhat
    isolated, trends will continue to be monitored regarding the need
    for downstream watch issuance into parts of AL.
