Tornado Watch number 120
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
205 am CST Fri Apr 1 2005

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
Tornado Watch for portions of

Southern Alabama
the western Florida Panhandle
southeast Louisiana
coastal waters

Effective this Friday morning from 205 am until 700 am CST.

Tornadoes... hail to 1 inch in diameter... thunderstorm wind gusts
to 70 mph... and dangerous lightning are possible in these areas.

The Tornado Watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles
north and south of a line from 70 miles west of Gulfport
Mississippi to 35 miles east northeast of Crestview Florida. For
a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (wous64 kwns wou0).

Remember... a Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings.

Other watch information... continue... ww 118... ww 119...

Discussion... warm front/outflow bndry oriented WNW/ESE along the
cntrl Gulf CST appears to be lifting slowly nwd this morning... in
response to pressure fall axis extending from srn MS into cntrl al.
Most of the storms in the ww region will likely be slightly
elevated. But given strong veering profiles invof bndry... and rich
moisture inflow apparent near New Orleans... potential will exist for
isolated tornadoes in addition to locally damaging wind and possibly
severe hail.

Aviation... tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
surface and aloft to 1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 450.
Mean storm motion vector 26030.

why would they live MS out of that???? makes no sense.

We had over 8 inches of rain here in Pascagoula, all of our roads are flooded. I made it to work but had no brakes when I got here.

Send the ark if it doesn't stop raining soon!

You know Mary - I wondered that, too. It doesn't make much sense to me.

Apparently there was not a tornado threat... even though that map showed MS in it, the NWS must not have wanted it to include them.

The MS coastal waters were in though.
