   Mesoscale Discussion 0532
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0209 PM CDT Sat May 04 2019

   Areas affected...southwestern Alabama and western parts of the
   Florida Panhandle vicinity

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 130...

   Valid 041909Z - 042115Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 130
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Local risk for severe storms continues in/near WW 190.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a still-loosely organized band
   of storms moving across the southeastern Mississippi/southwestern
   Alabama border, while other/more cellular storms increase in
   coverage in a "warm-advection wing" extending east-southeast across
   southwest Alabama and western portions of the Florida Panhandle. 
   With a moist/unstable airmass residing in/near the WW area, expect
   storms to continue spreading across the WW area.  

   Slight backing of the surface wind field persists near the Gulf
   Coast, which continues to modestly enhance low-level shear.  This
   suggests relatively greater -- but still limited -- risk for a brief
   tornado over southern portions of the watch area.  Otherwise,
   moderate/roughly unidirectional west-southwesterly flow across much
   of the area supports locally damaging winds as the main severe risk
   -- especially with the linear band of storms.
