CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 261...
VALID 011918Z - 012115Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 261
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES WITHIN WW261. LOCAL WATCH
EXTENSION MAY BE NEEDED AS STORMS CONTINUE SOUTHWARD.
DISCUSSION...A LINE OF STORMS CONTINUES SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS
PORTIONS OF NORTHERN/CENTRAL ALABAMA INTO WESTERN MISSISSIPPI THIS
AFTERNOON, PRODUCING GUSTS GENERALLY 45-50 MPH. THIS LINE OF STORMS
IS MOVING ALONG A GRADIENT OF HIGHER INSTABILITY THAT EXTENDS ACROSS
CENTRAL ALABAMA INTO MISSISSIPPI, WITH ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE
WESTERN FLANK OF THE SOUTHWARD MOVING OUTFLOW IN WESTERN
MISSISSIPPI. AHEAD OF THE LINE OF STORMS, THE DOWNSTREAM AIR MASS
REMAINS FAVORABLY HOT AND UNSTABLE. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE
DAMAGING WIND THREAT MAY EXTEND FURTHER DOWNSTREAM INTO PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA. LOCAL EXTENSION MAY BE NEEDED TO
WW261 TO COVER THIS POTENTIAL.
