Areas affected...parts of central Louisiana...much of Mississippi

Concerning...Tornado Watch 2...

Valid 060002Z - 060200Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 2 continues.

SUMMARY...A tornado or two remains possible across the watch area,
along with locally damaging winds.

DISCUSSION...A relatively wide squall line with embedded cells
extends from northeast MS into central LA as of 00Z. Gusty southerly
winds continue to bring warming northward ahead of the line, with
the instability/theta-e axis roughly from south-central LA to near
Jackson, MS. The warm front remains draped from eastern MS into
southwest AL.=20

Shear profiles remain strong just ahead of the cold front, with
effective SRH of 200-400 m2/s2. Stronger low-level shear exists
farther east into northeast MS/AL/TN, but the air mass remains
stable for surface-based parcels at this time. Hodographs do remain
quite favorable for supercells and tornadoes, given a discrete cell
and/or stronger core within the line.

Otherwise, given the relatively poor condition of the air mass even
over the northern Gulf of Mexico (where dewpoints are only in the
low to mid 60s F), it does not appear that appreciable instability
will be able to develop very far east of the existing watch, at
least over the next few hours. As such, an addition watch is not
expected, but surface trends will continue to be monitored.
