Wonder why the dropped much of the eastern watch.

Blasted MCS cutting off inflow. We had torrential rains about an hour ago and have dropped down to 61.

[Ed Mahmoud]

Kind of academic, except for people working on the rigs in Mississippi Canyon well offshore, but the supercell just East of due South of BVE has the most obvious tornadic rotation I have seen in a while. Of course, as far as it is from KLIX, the rotation may not be low level.


It'll take a few hours, but it is headed in the general direction of Panama City Beach.

It has a Special Marine Warning on it.

Wonder why the dropped much of the eastern watch.

Blasted MCS cutting off inflow. We had torrential rains about an hour ago and have dropped down to 61.

Like those ?

[rsdoug1981]

We had some decent sized hail in southern Rankin County, MS (biggest stones were about 1/2" in diameter) and some wind with that central MS line around 12:15. Neither the wind nor the hail met severe criteria, but just to my north, 1" hail was reported.

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 103...

VALID 021809Z - 021915Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 103 CONTINUES.

A NEW TORNADO WATCH WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED FOR MUCH OF AL/SERN
MS...EFFECTIVELY REPLACING PORTIONS OF WW 103 IN SRN AL/SERN MS.

BROKEN LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE TSTMS FROM N-CNTRL MS TO FAR SERN LA
SHOULD PROGRESS EWD INTO AL AND SERN MS THIS AFTERNOON. POCKETS OF
INSOLATION DOWNSTREAM OF THIS ACTIVITY ACROSS WRN AL TO SERN MS HAVE
RESULTED IN TEMPERATURES WARMING THROUGH THE 70S TO LOWER 80S.
INTENSE DEEP-LAYER SHEAR AND STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL
SUPPORT POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. THE TORNADO
THREAT MAY BE AT LEAST INITIALLY MITIGATED ACROSS CNTRL/WRN AL BY
LOW-LEVEL DRYING INDICATED IN 15Z JAN/LIX RAOBS...WHICH HAS BEEN
REFLECTED IN RECENT SURFACE OBS /FALLING TO THE MIDDLE 50S IN PIB/.
HOWEVER...RICHER LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS NRN AL/SRN MIDDLE TN AND
MORE BACKED LOW-LEVEL FLOW ACROSS NRN AL/SRN MIDDLE TN SHOULD RESULT
IN A GREATER TORNADIC POTENTIAL IN THIS REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON.

Just a little hint of clearing and Tuscaloosa popped up to 25º (77ºF).

15Z RUC forecast for 18Z seems to have underestimated the temperature some, and perhaps has underestimated instability.

0100 PM CDT THU APR 02 2009

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY AND MID-SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT...

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STRONG TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE

A LARGE PART OF ALABAMA
PARTS OF NORTHER FLORIDA INCLUDING THE PANHANDLE
PARTS OF SOUTHERN GEORGIA
A LARGE PART OF MISSISSIPPI

ELSEWHERE...SEVERE STORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE FROM PARTS OF EASTERN
TEXAS AND ARKANSAS NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO RIVER
VALLEYS AND EASTWARD INTO THE EASTERN CAROLINAS.

INTENSE SPRING STORM SYSTEM IS DEVELOPING OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
TODAY BRINGING A RISK OF WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON CONTINUING TONIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE DEEP SOUTH. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN INCREASING DURING THE MORNING AHEAD OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. IN ADDITION
SEVERE STORMS ARE DEVELOPING VICINITY OF THE EASTERN GULF COAST
WHERE A VERY MOIST UNSTABLE AIR MASS CURRENTLY RESIDES.

DEEP LAYER SHEAR...ALREADY STRONG WILL INCREASE FURTHER DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE STRONG UPPER TROUGH CROSSES THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. SUPERCELLS WILL BECOME AN INCREASING CONCERN DURING
THE AFTERNOON ALONG WITH A TORNADO THREAT. IN ADDITION THE LINE OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NOW DEVELOPING FROM NORTHERN MS SWD THROUGH
SERN LA WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY DAMAGING WINDS. TORNADOES THAT OCCUR
WITH SUPERCELLS COULD BE QUITE STRONG AND/OR LONGER-LIVED AS THEY
DEVELOP ACROSS MISSISSIPPI INTO ALABAMA AND ALSO VICINITY THE
EAST/WEST BOUNDARY NORTHERN FLORIDA AND SOUTHERN GEORGIA.

THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER
SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER
RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.
ADDITIONALLY...STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGERS ARE MONITORING
THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION.
