    Areas affected...Parts of central Mississippi into northern/central
    Alabama

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 202208Z - 210015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe risk, including the potential for a few
    tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail, will continue spreading
    eastward across central Mississippi into north/central Alabama into
    tonight. One or more watches will likely be issued for parts of the
    area within an hour or two.

    DISCUSSION...Widely scattered severe thunderstorms, including a
    couple discrete supercells and organized clusters, are tracking
    eastward across northwest/west-central MS -- focused ahead of a northeast/southwest-oriented cold front moving across the region.
    Over the next several hours, this activity will continue spreading east-southeastward along/ahead of the front into central MS and
    eventually northern/central AL. Given an increasingly large
    component of front-parallel deep-layer shear with time, there may be
    a gradual tendency for storms to grow upscale into a semi-continuous
    line. Nevertheless, around 50 kt of effective shear and upwards of
    200 m2/s2 effective SRH (beneath a focused low-level jet) will
    promote embedded supercells -- given strong pre-convective
    instability. A few tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail will
    all be possible. One or more watches will likely be issued for parts
    of the area within an hour or two.
