MD 0445 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 112… FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPI AND INTO SOUTHERN ALABAMA
Mesoscale Discussion 0445 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0722 AM CDT Mon Apr 03 2023 Areas affected...portions of southeastern Mississippi and into southern Alabama Concerning...Tornado Watch 112... Valid 031222Z - 031345Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 112 continues. SUMMARY...Local severe risk continues across portions of the WW area. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a cluster of ongoing storms across roughly the northern half of the watch, and extending northward across central Alabama. The strongest storms remain on the southern fringe of the broader area of convection, near the surface warm front lying west-northwest to east-southeast across southeastern Mississippi and southern Alabama. Storms have diminished somewhat in organization/intensity over the past 1 to 2 hours, but local risk for severe weather remains. Greatest risk at this time appears to be locally damaging winds with small/transient bowing features, but marginal hail and/or a brief tornado also remain possible. Expect trends to be steady-state, or slightly downward, over the next 1 to 2 hours. ..Goss.. 04/03/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...BMX...MOB...JAN...
