    Areas affected...Far Northeast MS...Northern AL...Middle TN

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 15...16...

    Valid 100120Z - 100245Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 15, 16 continues.

    SUMMARY...Potential for isolated damaging wind gusts and/or a brief
    tornado will continue across northeast MS, northern AL, and middle
    TN for the next hour or two.

    DISCUSSION...KGWX radar imagery has shown sporadic and brief
    low-level rotation within the supercell now moving through southern
    Lowndes county. However, latest scans have shown a trend towards
    less low-level inflow/low-level organization with velocity values
    decreasing and the previously observed ZDR arc losing definition.
    Echo tops have also decreased over the past 30 min or so. Strongest
    updraft (based on echo top) appears to be associated with the storm
    in Franklin and Cobert counties in far northwest AL. Downstream air
    mass from both of these storms suggests a gradual decrease in
    intensity as instability wanes. Even so, given the strong low-level
    shear, brief low-level organization capable of isolated wind
    damaging and or a brief tornado remains possible.

    Farther north, the convective line moving across middle TN has shown
    modest intensification, particularly over the last 30 min or so.
    Downstream thermodynamic environment is characterized by
    temperatures in the 60s, dewpoints in the limited instability. Even
    so, very strong low-level shear (sampled well by the 00Z BNA
    sounding) could still support instances of damaging wind gusts and
    perhaps a brief tornado before the line moves into cooler, more
    stable air north of the warm front.
