Areas affected...portions of southeast Mississippi into southwestern
Alabama

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 272116Z - 272245Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...An isolated tornado threat should persist for at least a
few more hours.

DISCUSSION...Transient supercell structures have supported sparse
tornado development this afternoon despite gradually weakening
low-level shear profiles. Given modest surface heating, surface
temperatures have warmed to near 70 F, contributing up to 1000 J/kg
MLCAPE (per 21Z mesoanalysis) where surface dewpoints have climbed
to the upper 60s F. The best low-level moisture and dewpoints reside
roughly from Jones County, MS to the Mobile Bay area, and this is
where the most robust thunderstorm development (with strong
low-level rotation and/or tornadoes) has occurred. Given the limited
overlap of the best low-level shear and moisture, a localized
tornado threat may persist for only a few more hours.
