NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS S-CENTRAL/SERN LA...SRN MS...SRN AL...WRN

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 830...

VALID 040435Z - 040630Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 830 CONTINUES.

GIVEN ERRATIC MOVEMENT OF TS LEE AND ONLY MINOR CHANGES IN MESOBETA
SCALE STRUCTURE OVER MOST FAVORABLE SECTOR...AREA OF PRIMARY TORNADO
THREAT HAS CHANGED LITTLE DURING PAST SEVERAL HOURS AND SHOULD
REMAIN ESSENTIALLY OVER WW AREA FOR SEVERAL MORE.

SFC THERMAL AXIS HAS SHIFTED EWD SOMEWHAT...EXTENDING AS OF 04Z FROM
WSW BTR SEWD ACROSS MSY AND SW PASS AREAS THEN SWD OVER OPEN GULF
WATERS. ALTHOUGH NO LONGER BENEFITING THERMALLY FROM DIABATIC SFC
HEATING...INLAND ADVECTION OF CONVECTIVELY UNDISTURBED MARINE AIR
NEAR THERMAL AXIS IS MAINTAINING RELATIVELY MAXIMIZED BUOYANCY
ACROSS SERN LA...WITH MLCAPE 500-1000 J/KG ESTIMATED BASED ON
MODIFIED LIX RAOB AND RUC SOUNDINGS. LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS ACTUALLY
ENLARGE WITH OUTWARD EXTENT FROM CENTER ACROSS SERN LA TOWARD MS/AL
COASTS. STRONGEST 0-1 KM AGL SHEAR MAY REMAIN DISPLACED WELL INTO
PRECIP-INFLUENCED THETAE DEFICIT OVER INLAND SRN PORTIONS MS/AL.
TORNADO THREAT ACCORDINGLY MAY BE RELATIVELY MAXIMIZED OVER COASTAL
AREAS BETWEEN MSY-MOB WHERE NRN FRINGE OF FAVORABLE BUOYANCY
OVERLAPS SRN PORTION OF STRONGEST SHEAR...THEN SSWWD ACROSS
CHANDELEUR ISLANDS AND MS RIVER MOUTH REGION. THIS SWATH ALSO
SHOULD CONTINUE TO EXHIBIT RELATIVELY DISCRETE CONVECTIVE MODES THAT
BEST SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIALLY TORNADIC MINI-SUPERCELLS.
