    Concerning...Tornado Watch 13...

    Valid 091927Z - 092130Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 13 continues.

    SUMMARY...Isolated tornadoes or damaging wind gusts remain possible
    across the region this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...A large area of rain and thunderstorms extends from a
    warm advection zone across the Ohio Valley southwestward into the
    lower MS Valley along a cold front. As a result of the widespread precipitation, little if any further destabilization is expected
    north of the MS/TN border, while to the south, upstream heating is
    allowing a gradual increase in temperatures across LA, MS and AL.

    VAD winds from the region confirm strong to extreme shear profiles
    with effective SRH values of 500-600 m2/s2 common ahead of the cold
    front and across the Enhanced Risk area (MS into TN/KY).

    Possible areas for supercell and tornado development include:
    1) Storms moving out of southeast AR into northern MS, in closer
    proximity to warmer surface air mass yet still in a high-shear
    environment.
    2) Storms moving out of southeast MO and into western KY and
    southern IL, where the surface air mass is relatively cool but in a
    zone of better large-scale lift ahead of the upper vorticity max.
    3) Evolving out of the northeast-southwest oriented lines of storms
    currently over northern MS, which will move into middle TN and
    northern AL later today, in concert with ever-increasing low-level
    wind shear.
