    Areas affected...Eastern LA...MS...northwest AL...middle/eastern TN

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 125...128...129...

    Valid 060445Z - 060615Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 125, 128, 129 continues.

    SUMMARY...A damaging-wind and tornado threat will continue into the
    overnight hours. Local watch extension and/or new watch issuance may
    eventually be needed.

    DISCUSSION...Long-lived supercell clusters are currently ongoing
    near the AL/TN border and into middle TN, while an increasingly
    extensive QLCS across parts of MS/LA has shown some signs of
    accelerating eastward late tonight.=20

    The northern clusters may eventually reach parts of eastern TN
    overnight. While buoyancy and low-level moisture weaken with
    eastward extent, some severe threat may continue into the overnight
    hours with these clusters, due to their current organized state, a
    persistently strong low-level jet, and favorable deep-layer shear.
    Some tornado threat could persist, especially with any supercells
    that continue to track near a southwest-to-northeast oriented
    outflow boundary.=20

    Farther south, the damaging-wind and tornado threat may increase
    with the organizing QLCS across MS and eastern LA. The 04Z JAN
    sounding depicted notable midlevel cooling and a modest
    strengthening of midlevel lapse rates, resulting in a somewhat more
    favorable buoyancy profile compared to earlier in the evening. This
    sounding and area VWPs also continue to show a favorable wind
    profile for tornadic supercells, and any embedded cells and/or
    line-embedded circulations may be capable of producing tornadoes
    overnight, including potential for a strong tornado.=20

    The severe threat will eventually spread east of ongoing watches.
    Local watch extensions and/or new watch issuance may eventually be
    needed during the early morning, especially if convection developing
    ahead of the QLCS is able to mature from eastern MS into western AL.
