   PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK  
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0937 PM CST FRI JAN 20 2017

   ...Severe thunderstorms expected over parts of the  overnight...

   * LOCATIONS...
     Southern Louisiana
     Southern Mississippi
     Southwestern Alabama

   * HAZARDS...
     A few intense tornadoes
     Scattered damaging winds
     Isolated large hail up to baseball size

   * SUMMARY...
     Scattered severe storms are expected to continue developing this
     evening across southwestern Louisiana, and spread across the
     lower Mississippi Valley and into Alabama and the Florida
     Panhandle tonight through Saturday morning. A few tornadoes,
     some of which could be strong, large hail and damaging winds
     will all be possible.

   Preparedness actions...

   Tornadoes at night can be particularly dangerous because they 
   are usually fast-moving and difficult to see. Stay tuned to
   NOAA Weather Radio, weather.gov, or other media for watches and
   warnings. A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable
   for tornadoes to form during the next several hours. If a tornado
   warning is issued for your area, move to a place of safety,
   ideally in a basement or interior room on the lowest floor of a
   sturdy building.
