AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 186...
VALID 062307Z - 070030Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 186 CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SUPERCELLS SHOWING SIGNS OF INTENSIFICATION AND INCREASING
TORNADO POTENTIAL.
DISCUSSION...SUPERCELLS CROSSING THE LA/MS BORDER AND ACROSS
SOUTHERN MS HAVE SHOWN AN UPTICK IN INTENSITY OVER THE LAST 30
MINUTES. VAD PROFILES FROM HDC (HAMMOND,LA) SHOW INCREASING THE
850-700 MB FLOW BEGINNING TO BE ANALYZED JUST SOUTH OF THE MS
BORDER. THIS INCREASE IN THE LOW TO MID-LEVEL FLOW WILL AID IN
INCREASING LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND THUSLY AN INCREASE IN THE TORNADO
THREAT THIS EVENING.
THE CELL MOVING INTO WALTHALL COUNTY MS HAS HAD A TORNADO REPORTED
WITH IT OVER THE LAST 30 MINUTES. THIS CELL WILL CONTINUE INTO A
FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT ACROSS SOUTHERN MS, WHERE
MODERATE TO STRONG MLCAPE OVERLAPS STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR AROUND
50-65 KTS. THIS SHOWS SIGNS OF CYCLING AND STRENGTHENING. THIS WILL
CONTINUE TO POSE A RISK FOR TORNADOES INCLUDING POTENTIAL FOR A
STRONG TORNADO.
TWO OTHER SUPERCELLS ACROSS CONCORDIA COUNTY LA AND ACROSS COPIAH
COUNTY IN MS ARE ALSO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED IN THE LOW-LEVELS.
THESE ARE ALSO MOVING WITHIN A VERY FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC
ENVIRONMENT AND MAY ALSO POSE A RISK FOR TORNADOES OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS.
