   Areas affected...North-central MS

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 76...

   Valid 250124Z - 250215Z

   CORRECTED FOR ERROR IN SPATIAL DELINEATION

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 76 continues.

   SUMMARY...An intense tornado (EF3+) is likely ongoing with a
   supercell tracking northeastward across western Sharkley County MS,
   and this storm should persist for the next 30-60 min.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar data shows an organized cyclonic supercell
   tracking northeastward across western Sharkley County MS, with a
   VROT above 70 kt and well-defined TDS up to 13k ft -- indicative of
   an intense tornado (EF3+) given the parameter space (STP of 4). The
   downstream environment features a large, clockwise-curved hodograph
   per DGX VWP (around 430 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH) amid rich boundary-layer
   moisture. This will support the maintenance of this intense
   supercell toward the northeast for the next 30-60 min.
