Areas affected...Portions of the Mid-South
Concerning...Tornado Watch 98...
Valid 022312Z - 030045Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 98 continues.
SUMMARY...Numerous discrete supercells are intensifying in a very
favorable environment for strong to intense tornadoes across the
Mid-South.
DISCUSSION...Numerous discrete right-moving supercells are
intensifying across the open warm sector in the Mid-South as of 23Z.
The NQA VWP depicts very large, clockwise-curved hodographs with
ample streamwise vorticity for these storms (around 330 m2/s2 0-500m
SRH). Given a moist/unstable boundary layer, ample low-level shear,
and the well-established discrete supercells, several strong to
intense tornadoes are possible through this corridor over the next
couple hours.
