    Areas affected...Portions of central into coastal/east TX

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 56...

    Valid 220538Z - 220645Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 56 continues.

    SUMMARY...Mainly a large hail and damaging wind threat continues,
    with a brief tornado also possible. A new watch will likely be
    needed by 06Z (1 AM CDT).

    DISCUSSION...Convection has grown upscale into an extensive,
    slow-moving squall line across parts of central TX early this
    morning as an upper trough/low ejects over the southern Plains.
    Multiple instances of marginally severe hail have recently been
    noted with the stronger cores near San Antonio TX. Given the
    generally linear nature of the storms, isolated damaging winds
    should also be a concern. The airmass downstream of this activity
    remains very moist and unstable, with latest mesoanalysis estimating
    MLCAPE of 2000-2500 J/kg present across coastal/east TX. Strong
    deep-layer shear of 45-55+ kt will also support continued storm
    organization. The better low-level flow associated with a southerly
    low-level jet remains displaced a little to the east of the ongoing
    convection, but adequate low-level shear (reference recent VWPs from
    KHGX) should also be enough for occasional low-level rotation and a
    brief tornado or two embedded within the line. Additional storms
    aided by low-level warm advection have developed ahead of the line,
    and this activity may also pose an isolated severe threat if it
    strengthens. A new watch will likely be needed by 06Z (1 AM CDT) to
    address the expectations that a severe threat will continue for
    several more hours this morning.

    0127 PM CDT Fri Mar 17 2023

    Areas affected...southern Alabama into the western Florida Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 171827Z - 172100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A cluster of thunderstorms may continue to gradually
    intensify and organize through 5-7 PM CDT, eventually accompanied by
    wind gusts perhaps occasionally approaching severe limits. It is
    not yet clear that this will require a severe weather watch, but
    trends will continue to be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has been slowly intensifying within a narrow
    corridor along and just ahead of the sharp southeastward advancing
    cold front, and generally south of an intersecting pre-frontal
    outflow boundary extending east-northeastward across southern
    Alabama. This is occurring in advance of a remnant mesoscale
    convective vortex, and perhaps associated weak subtropical
    perturbation, emerging from the Mexican Plateau to the south of the
    Texas Big Bend last night.

    Although lower/mid tropospheric lapse rates are generally poor, and
    supportive of limited initial instability, insolation and low-level
    moistening on southerly flow off the Gulf of Mexico is beginning to
    contribute to at least weak boundary-layer destabilization in
    advance of the developing thunderstorms. As inflow of this air
    contributes to further deepening of convection, in the presence of
    strong deep-layer shear, and west-southwesterly deep-layer mean flow
    around 40 kt, activity may continue to slowly organize and
    accelerate eastward through late afternoon. Both the Rapid Refresh
    and high-resolution Rapid Refresh have been suggestive that
    corridors of strong rear inflow in excess of 50 kt may develop with
    the evolving convective system, at least in the
    lower/mid-troposphere. If this occurs, it is possible that it could
    be accompanied by increasing potential for strong surface gusts, at
    least occasionally approaching severe limits.

    Areas affected...Southern and Central Mississippi...Far Eastern
    Louisiana

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 62...

    Valid 260235Z - 260430Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 62 continues.

    SUMMARY...A threat for tornadoes and wind damage will likely
    continue over the next couple of hours across Tornado Watch 62.

    DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar imagery from Jackson,
    MS shows an organized line of strong thunderstorms located across
    southwest and central Mississippi. This line of storms is located in
    weak instability along an axis of maximized low-level moisture with
    surface dewpoints from 65 to 70 F. On the large-scale, an 80 to 100
    knot mid-level jet is passing through the Ark-La-Tex. Large-scale
    ascent associated with this feature is helping to support and
    intensify the line. In addition, the latest WSR-88D VWP from
    Jackson, MS has an impressive shear profile, with an increase to 65
    knots in the lowest 1 km, and a large looping hodograph. This will
    likely support a tornado threat with embedded rotating cells within
    the line. The greatest threat will likely be in central Mississippi,
    where the combination of shear and lift appears to be maximized.
    Wind damage will also be possible ahead of the more intense line
    segments.
