   Mesoscale Discussion 0081
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0506 PM CST Wed Feb 05 2020

   Areas affected...Much of Mississippi into southwest Alabama

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 22...

   Valid 052306Z - 060030Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 22 continues.

   SUMMARY...Scattered storms, some capable of a brief tornado or
   damaging wind gusts, remain possible this evening.

   DISCUSSION...Numerous storms persist both along and ahead of a cold
   front, affecting much of MS, AL, and southern Middle TN. Shear
   remains strong with the most favorable hodographs from parts of
   eastern MS and into northern AL. 

   Lift via warm advection will remain strongest over northern areas,
   but lift along the cold front and a moist and marginally unstable
   air mass will conditionally favor severe storms through evening over
   much of MS and into parts of southern AL. As such, a replacement
   watch will likely be required.
