Valid 162020Z - 162115Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 38, 40 continues. SUMMARY...The tornado threat continues and may intensify over the next 1-2 hours across portions of southern MS into western AL. DISCUSSION...As of 2015 UTC, hi-res radar imagery showed a loose cluster of supercells becoming better organized across Jasper, Jefferson Davis, Marion and Walthal counties, MS. Area VADs have shown consistently strong low-level wind profiles with 0-1km bulk shear around 25-30 kt. As these supercells have matured, low-level mesocyclones have trended stronger, suggesting tornado potential is increasing. This is further corroborated by a recent report of a tornado in Smith County, MS. A corridor of enhanced tornado potential may evolve over the next hour or two as supercells continue to track northeastward and reach maturity within the strongly sheared airmass. ...Lyons.. 02/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_5r2t_0WiKWsZHMOsqZweAnSZ31uYvdeKxgjXKYyCx4d5iT-l8n7bLBcquQzRWTOCp7p4vjJP= 2XTgJhQU-SA6WqA2Y0$ for graphic product...
