* Tornado Watch for portions of
Alabama
Eastern Mississippi
Coastal Waters
* Effective this Wednesday night and Thursday morning from 645 PM
until 300 AM CDT.
...THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION...

Several tornadoes and a few intense tornadoes likely
Widespread damaging winds and scattered significant gusts to 80
mph likely
Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible
SUMMARY...A further strengthening of low/mid-level winds this
evening will support a combination of semi-discrete supercells as
well as organizing fast-moving line segments across much of eastern
Mississippi into Alabama. Tornadoes, including a few strong, aside
from damaging winds will be the most prevalent hazards.
80/80 probs... spc seems to think that the line will be nasty. that said...the counties in MS may end up being dropped in a couple hours. weird.
