SIGNIFICANT THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES ACROSS  THE REGION TODAY    A LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDED ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI  FROM NEAR KOSCIUSKO TO NEAR MONTICELLO AT 845 AM. THESE STORMS HAVE A  HISTORY OF PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE FROM TORNADOES AND HIGH  WINDS...AS WELL AS LARGE HAIL. THESE STORMS WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS  EASTERN MISSISSIPPI THROUGH THE MIDDAY HOURS...WITH A CONTINUED  SIGNIFICANT RISK OF TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS...AND LARGE HAIL.    OTHER SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP FARTHER TO THE WEST  ACROSS NORTHEAST LOUISIANA AND WESTERN MISSISSIPPI AS THE DAY GOES  ON. DAYTIME HEATING COMBINED WITH THE APPROACH OF A STRONG UPPER  LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT...WILL ALLOW SEVERE  THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP. VERY LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND...AND  ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS AS THEY PUSH  ACROSS MISSISSIPPI THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.    THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION...PARTICULARY ACROSS EASTERN  MISSISSIPPI WHERE THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING  TORNADOES THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. PEOPLE SHOULD PAY VERY  CLOSE ATTENTION TO WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY...AND BE PREPARED TO MOVE  TO SHELTER IF THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES.

I don't know about our severe threat Brett... the 60 degree dewpoints aren't even here yet and don't appear to be moving north in any kind of a hurry. I think the tornado-producing line will weaken(it seems to have already have) and then come in as just some heavy rain(like we need more of that ). Sorry I didn't IM you, I've been asleep.

Well Brent, I believe they will start as I have a SSE wind here at 25 gusting to 35. Sun is in and out....but now several tornadoes on the ground in MS. This line isnt in a big hurry either...will be close. I-20 southward will be dangerous IMO.
