   Concerning...Tornado Watch 75...

   Valid 290717Z - 290845Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 75 continues.

   SUMMARY...Threat for all severe hazards, including large hail and
   brief tornadoes, continues across Tornado Watch 75

   DISCUSSION...Radar signatures of the three embedded supercells in
   east-central MS have improved over the past half hour or so.
   Instability within the air mass ahead of these cells has increased
   slightly over the past hour or so as low-level moisture advection
   persists just ahead of cold front. Strong vertical shear remains in
   place and the overall environment will continue to support organized
   storms. 

   Most recent KGWX radar imagery shows more linear character to these
   storms, suggesting the primary threat will be damaging wind gusts.
   However, the lead cell in Lamar County AL has an intense radar-based
   hail core, indicating large hail remains a threat. Additionally, the
   strong low-level shear (i.e. 0-1 km SRH over 200 m2/s2), supports a
   brief embedded/QLCS tornado risk.
