Areas affected...west-central AL...far east-central MS

Concerning...Tornado Watch 17...

Valid 121554Z - 121730Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 17 continues.

SUMMARY...Most favorable mesoscale environment for supercells and a
tornado risk is focused near the MS/AL border and into west-central
AL through 1130am CST.

DISCUSSION...Subjective mesoscale analysis shows temperatures
warming into the lower 70s over west-central AL to the east of a
broken band of storms with several quasi-discrete updrafts. Surface
dewpoints are in the lower 60s and RAP forecast soundings indicate
around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE when modifying for current surface
observations. Long hodographs will continue to promote a
supercellular storm mode. In addition, around 200-250 m2/s2 0-0.5
km effective SRH is indicated. Given this overlap of
buoyancy/shear, it appears the most favorable mesoscale environment
will be focused over west-central AL over the next 1-2 hours. A
tornado risk will continue with any robust supercell.
