ZCZC SPCSWOMCD ALL ACUS11 KWNS 301747 SPC MCD 301747 MSZ000-ARZ000-LAZ000-301845- Mesoscale Discussion 0356 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1247 PM CDT Wed Mar 30 2022 Areas affected...Parts of southwestern through northeastern Louisiana into northwestern Mississippi Concerning...Tornado Watch 76...77... Valid 301747Z - 301845Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 76, 77 continues. SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms posing increasing risk to produce tornadoes and/or strong, damaging wind gusts through 2-4 PM CDT. This may including increasing potential for a strong tornado or two by late afternoon. DISCUSSION...Surface dew point increases through the mid 60s has now contributed to moderate mixed-layer CAPE of 1500+ J/kg along a narrow corridor of stronger 2 hourly (as of 17Z) surface pressure falls, from near Fort Polk LA into the Greenville MS area. Southerly flow around the 850 mb layer is forecast to continue to increase up to around 70 kt along and east of the this axis through 19-21Z, contributing to further enlargement of already sizable clockwise curved low-level hodographs. With this coinciding with the sustained strong, and gradually intensifying, thunderstorm development, supercell structures with strong low-level mesocyclones will continue to evolve and pose increasing risk for tornadoes and/or localized strong damaging wind gusts. ..Kerr.. 03/30/2022 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
