Valid 082142Z - 082315Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 32 continues.

SUMMARY...The environment remains broadly favorable for damaging
gusts and a tornado or two this afternoon across WW032.

DISCUSSION...Across Tornado Watch 32, widespread convection is
ongoing along a southward surging outflow across parts of southern
MS and eastern LA. Transient supercell structures and bowing
segments have been noted with this activity over the past several
hours. The environment remains broadly favorable for damaging gusts
of 50-60 mph and/or a brief tornado, given ~1000 J/kg of MLCAPE and
50-60+ kt of effective shear. However, the surging nature of outflow
and numerous storm interactions may continue to limit greater severe
potential within this broader cluster.

Farther south, more discrete convection is ongoing across
southeastern LA and far southern MS. An impressive kinematic
parameter space with strong low-level shear (0-1 km SRH of 300-400
m2/s2) remains in place along with minimal inhibition. WOFS and
other hi-res guidance continue to suggest a favorable environment
for damaging gusts of 55-65 mph and a tornado, should better
organized supercells emerge. With this in mind, the severe risk will
likely continue as storms track east/northeastward the warm front
over parts of southern AL.
