   Areas affected...parts of central and northern Mississippa

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 106...

   Valid 122244Z - 130015Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 106 continues.

   SUMMARY...Risk for damaging winds, along with tornado potential,
   continues across the central and northern Mississippi portion of
   Tornado Watch 106.

   DISCUSSION...While the strongest supercell storms -- and most
   substantial tornado potential -- has been occurring over southern
   Mississippi in southeastern portions of the WW over the past 1-2
   hours, severe storms just to the north continue moving
   east-northeastward across central Mississippi. 

   One intense, bowing band of storms is crossing the Mississippi
   River/Delta region, moving east-northeastward in excess of 60 kt. 
   Other storms with smaller-scale, strong downdrafts are indicated to
   the east of the larger bow. 

   Overall, expect very strong flow aloft to continue to support
   well-organized storms -- and local updraft rotation -- as this
   convection continues crossing WW 106.  Damaging winds risk will
   persist, along with potential for embedded tornadic spin-ups.
