AREAS AFFECTED...MS...NW AL...MIDDLE TN

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 14...

VALID 250211Z - 250315Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 14 CONTINUES.

THE SEVERE THREAT WITH A SQUALL-LINE CURRENTLY ACROSS WRN TN...NW MS
AND NE LA WILL MOVE TO THE EAST OF WW 14 WHERE A NEW WATCH WILL BE
NEEDED SHORTLY. THE SQUALL-LINE WILL BE MAINTAINED BECAUSE OF VERY
STRONG LARGE-SCALE ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING UPPER-LEVEL
TROUGH TO THE WEST. ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY IS WEAK EAST OF THE
LINE...VERY STRONG WIND FIELDS EXIST WHICH ALONG WITH A FORWARD
SPEED OF THE LINE AROUND 40 KT WILL CONTINUE A THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD
WIND DAMAGE. IN ADDITION TO WIND DAMAGE...A FEW OF THE MORE INTENSE
ROTATING CELLS EMBEDDED IN THE LINE COULD HAVE AN ISOLATED TORNADO
THREAT.

Although not one of the epic derechos, it does seem like one. There could definitely be tornadoes within the QLCS though.
