Areas affected…Northeast Mississippi…far northwest Alabama…and far southern Tennessee
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch unlikely
Probability of Watch Issuance…20 percent
SUMMARY…A well-developed storm in northern Mississippi may pose a severe threat for the next 30 to 45 minutes before weakening.
DISCUSSION…A well-developed supercell in northern Mississippi will continue northeastward over the next hour. However, the airmass downstream of this storm is characterized by increasing inhibition and limited instability with dewpoints near 60 degrees. This storm will be capable of some damaging winds for the next 30 to 45 minutes but should weaken beyond that time. Therefore, no downstream watch is anticipated.
