   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 22 continues.

   SUMMARY...The threat for tornadoes has undergone a significant
   increase during the past hour from southwest through central MS, and
   this threat is expected to persist into the evening including the
   potential for a couple of strong tornadoes.

   DISCUSSION...Storms have undergone a significant increase in
   organization during the past hour. A couple of storms with a history
   of producing tornadoes persist from southwest through central MS.
   Activity is increasing east and southeast of a surface low that will
   deepen and track northeast along a stationary front this evening.
   Large low-level hodographs with 300-400 m2/s2 0-1 km storm relative
   helicity exists along a strengthening low-level jet and within a
   moderately unstable environment. Additional storms developing in
   warm sector will likely organize as supercells and bowing segments
   with an attendant threat for tornadoes and damaging wind.
