   Areas affected...Portions of southeastern MS and southwestern AL

   Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely 

   Valid 122053Z - 122230Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...Severe threat will continue to increase, and a watch will
   likely be needed in the next hour.

   DISCUSSION...The airmass across southeastern MS and southwestern AL
   continues to destabilize this afternoon. A couple of supercells have
   recently strengthened across far south-central MS. Current
   expectations are for these storms to maintain their intensity as
   they move eastward through the remainder of the afternoon. All
   severe hazards appear possible, with tornadoes a concern given
   strong low-level shear and a favorable storm mode present.
   Therefore, a tornado watch will likely be needed across parts of
   southeastern MS into southwestern AL in the next hour.
