Areas affected...eastern Mississippi into southwestern Alabama

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 127...

Valid 140140Z - 140245Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 127
continues.

SUMMARY...A QLCS is expected to pose a risk for damaging wind gusts
and isolated tornadoes as it moves to the east southeast. A corridor
of enhanced damaging wind potential maybe developing with a bowing
segment across eastern MS.

DISCUSSION...As of 0130z a fast moving QLCS was located across
eastern MS near the border with AL. Recent reports of damaging wind
gusts (some 75+ mph) have occurred with a bowing segment within the
line. As the line shifts eastward into a drier low-level
thermodynamic environment across western AL (dewpoints in the low
60s F), significant damaging wind potential may be developing.
Hi-res guidance and observation trends suggests the southern most
portion of the line will beco*e dominant as it slides southeastward
into the corridor of better low-level moisture advection across
southwestern AL. Sufficient buoyancy and vertical shear exist to
support a continued severe threat with the QLCS this evening. One
uncertainty remains the potential for tornadoes. While low-level
shear remains fairly strong (0-1km SRH of 100-200 m2/s2) the drier
low-level environment and weaker buoyancy may favor stronger outflow
and limit the potential for tornadoes with eastward extent.
