MD 1989 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 575…576… FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI INTO WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALABAMA
Mesoscale Discussion 1989 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1133 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2022 Areas affected...central and southern Mississippi into western and central Alabama Concerning...Tornado Watch 575...576... Valid 300533Z - 300700Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 575, 576 continues. SUMMARY...Severe/tornado risk will continue across portions of Mississippi and Alabama over the next couple of hours. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a consolidating, pre-frontal band of strong/locally severe storms extending from northwestern Alabama west-southwestward across northern Mississippi to far northeastern Louisiana. Damaging wind gusts remain the primary severe risk with this band of storms, though a brief tornado is also possible. Farther to the south/southeast, isolated -- and in some cases, rotating -- storms continue, from southern and central Mississippi to west-central Alabama. Several of these storms have maintained moderate -- but sustained -- rotation as they track east-northeastward at around 40 kt. Though rotation has gradually weakened with most storms over the past half hour or so, potential for tornadic spin-ups will persist across this area over the next couple of hours. ..Goss.. 11/30/2022 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
