Concerning...Tornado Watch 17...

Valid 121501Z - 121700Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 17 continues.

SUMMARY...The risk for a couple of tornadoes will continue this
morning, including the possibility for a strong tornado. An
additional tornado watch will likely need to be considered for far
southeast MS into southwest and south-central AL later this morning.

DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic and single-site 88D data show a broken
band of embedded cluster and quasi-discrete supercells from 40 mi
WSW of Tuscaloosa extending southwestward to 30 mi W of Hattiesburg.
Analysis of upper-air RAOB data this morning shows relatively cool
mid-level profiles with -15.7 deg C at Birmingham and -14.1 deg C at
Jackson. Although surface dewpoints are only in the lower 60s over
central AL and low-mid 60s in southern MS, the quality of the
moisture through a 100-mb deep layer above the surface is notable
when combined with the cool mid-level temperature profile. RAP
forecast soundings this morning into the midday hours show buoyancy
around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE with large low-level hodographs. As a
result, the mesoscale environment appears favorable for a tornado
risk from eastern and southeastern MS northeastward into
west-central AL over the next few couple of hours. A strong tornado
is possible. The activity over southeast LA and southern MS will
eventually shift eastward into far southeast MS and southwest AL
towards the midday.
