   Concerning...Tornado Watch 50...

   Valid 251728Z - 251930Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 50 continues.

   SUMMARY...A tornadic supercell over northern Hale County may persist
   with tornado threat expanding east/northeast for several hours.

   DISCUSSION...A long-lived supercell, now tornadic and likely
   producing a strong tornado, continues to move east/northeast across
   northern Hale County, and has shown no signs of weakening.

   The air mass ahead of this cell is unstable and warming as the warm
   front continues to lift well northeast of the Birmingham area.
   Latest VWP out of BMX shows 0-1 SRH of 329 m2/s2 given a motion of
   245/38 kt, which supports a strong tornado.

   Given warm/moist advection east of the cell, the tornado threat may
   persist for a couple hours as it moves east/northeast across several
   counties in Alabama.
