Storms are intensifying back over Louisiana. The environment over Central Mississippi is becoming more favorable for severe weather and these storms will have to be watched as they move into the Delta region later this evening.

Tornado watch for NW Alabama until 12 midnight.

The front is lagging back in eastern Arkansas, making only slow eastward progress. The airmass over northern Mississippi into western Tennessee, eastern Arkansas and northern Louisiana is prime for more severe weather overnight, especially near the front. We will have to deal with this tomorrow here in Alabama.
