   Areas affected...Central Mississippi

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 125...

   Valid 022351Z - 030045Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 125 continues.

   SUMMARY...Supercells with a history of tornadoes will likely persist
   through early evening where a corridor of greater tornado risk
   appears likely this evening.

   DISCUSSION...Several small supercells along and west of I-55 have
   produced confirmed tornadoes over the last 90 minutes. KDGX analysis
   shows several low-level mesocyclones with VROTs of 40-50 kts and a
   considerable TDS near Yazoo City, MS. SPC mesoanalysis and regional
   VWPS show strong veering wind profiles with 200-300 m2/s2 ESRH ahead
   of the ongoing storms to near the warm front across north-central
   Mississippi. A corridor of greater tornado potential is likely
   evolving. The potential exists for several additional tornadoes,
   (possibly significant) to develop and track northeastward to the
   warm front over the next 1 to 3 hours.
