   Areas affected...Central MS

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 29...

   Valid 171819Z - 171945Z

   CORRECTED FOR INCORRECT TORNADO WATCH REFERENCE

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 29 continues.

   SUMMARY...A small corridor more favorable for the development of a
   strong tornado may be evolving across south-central MS.

   DISCUSSION...Recent KDGX radar imagery reveals a tornadic supercell
   over Lincoln County MS. This supercell has developed within an
   environment characterized by strong instability and low-level shear.
   The environment immediate downstream of this cell is currently free
   of storms. The area downstream also recently experienced a subtle
   break in the clouds, allowing for a bit more heating. The surface
   observation at JAN recently reported 78/68 and is now showing a due
   south wind at 15 kt. These factors suggest a small corridor more
   favorable for the development of a strong tornado may be evolving
   across south-central MS
