   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
   MISSISSIPPI...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A strong thunderstorm or two is possible for a portion of
   Mississippi on Thursday.

   ...Synopsis...
   A potent mid-level shortwave trough and associated speed max will
   move from the Four Corners to the southern Great Lakes during the
   day 2 period.  A wide belt of strong southwesterly mid- to
   high-level flow will extend from the southern Great Plains
   east-northeastward into the Northeast.  In the low levels, a front
   draped from the upper TX coast to central AL will advance northward
   across parts of MS/AL during the day as a weak surface low develops
   over KY by early evening.  Considerable cloudiness will limit the
   magnitude of destabilization across the warm sector over the central
   Gulf Coast states despite the presence of 60s F dewpoints south of
   the boundary.  Mean flow parallel to the boundary, a mid-level warm
   layer near 750 mb, and substantial forcing for ascent displaced to
   the north of the region will combine to curtail thunderstorm
   coverage and storm intensity.  A few strong gusts --possibly
   damaging-- cannot be ruled out with a couple of storms on Thursday
   and Thursday evening across parts of Mississippi.
