    Areas affected...Eastern Mississippi...Central Alabama...Northwest
    Georgia

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

    Valid 022253Z - 030200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will become more numerous through the
    evening, with an increasing risk of tornadoes and damaging winds.=20
    Watch issuance is expected in the next couple of hours.

    DISCUSSION...A very warm/moist and moderately unstable and only
    weakly capped air mass is in place this evening across much of
    southern MS/AL, with dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s. Recent
    satellite/radar loops show isolate showers and thunderstorms
    beginning to develop in this region. Models have been consistent in
    the development of a strong southerly low-level jet by mid-evening,
    resulting in northward advection of the better moisture and
    strengthening low-level wind fields. Forecast soundings suggest
    rapid enlargement of hodographs after dark, with parameters becoming
    quite favorable for supercells capable of tornadoes and damaging
    winds. A tornado watch will be needed for parts of this region in
    the next couple of hours as more robust convective initiation
    begins.
