AREAS AFFECTED...SRN LA...SE MS...SW AL

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 741...742...

VALID 201721Z - 201845Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 741...742...CONTINUES.

AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT AND WIND DAMAGE POTENTIAL WILL EXIST
ACROSS SRN LA AND SRN MS MOVING EWD INTO SRN AL EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. THE GREATEST THREAT SHOULD EXIST IN THE ERN PARTS OF WW
741 AND WW 742. A NEW WW MAY BE NEEDED EAST OF WW 742 BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON.

THE LATEST RADAR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW A PERSISTENT BOW ECHO IN
SRN MS ACROSS WW 742 WITH LESS ORGANIZED CONVECTION EXTENDING WSWWD
ACROSS NRN AND WRN WW 741. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A WELL-DEFINED
UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH OVER ERN AR EXTENDING SWD ACROSS SW LA. A 60 KT
JET NEAR 700 MB ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS LOCATED IN
CNTRL LA INTO SW MS AND IS LIKELY HELPING TO SUPPORT THE BOW ECHO IN
SRN MS. THE BOW ECHO SHOULD BEGIN TO TURN SEWD FAVORING THE GREATER
INSTABILITY AND HIGHER LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE NORTH OF MOBILE AL AND
ALONG THE I-10 CORRIDOR IN THE WRN FL PANHANDLE. A TORNADO OR TWO
ALONG WITH WIND DAMAGE WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE WITH THE BOW
INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

FURTHER WEST ACROSS THE SRN PORTION OF WW 741...REGIONAL WSR-88D
VWPS SHOW STRONG DIRECTIONAL SHEAR AND FAVORABLE SPEED SHEAR FOR
ROTATING STORMS. IN ADDITION...THE LATEST OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWS
MORE INSTABILITY /SBCAPE VALUES AROUND 800 J/KG/ IS LOCATED ACROSS
SRN LA SUGGESTING THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WILL CONTINUE THIS
AFTERNOON.
