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.
