Tornado & Severe T-Storm Threat Continues for at Least the Next Few Hours
SUMMARY… Severe/tornado risk will continue across portions of Mississippi and Alabama over the next couple of hours.
DISCUSSION… Latest radar loop shows a consolidating, pre-frontal band of strong/locally severe storms extending from northwestern Alabama west-southwestward across northern Mississippi to far northeastern Louisiana. Damaging wind gusts remain the primary severe risk with this band of storms, though a brief tornado is also possible.
Farther to the south/southeast, isolated — and in some cases, rotating — storms continue, from southern and central Mississippi to west-central Alabama. Several of these storms have maintained moderate — but sustained — rotation as they track east-northeastward at around 40 kt. Though rotation has gradually weakened with most storms over the past half hour or so, potential for tornadic spin-ups will persist across this area over the next couple of hours.
