    Areas affected...extreme southeast AR into northern MS

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 569...

    Valid 291918Z - 292045Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 569 continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe thunderstorms threat is expected to increase
    over the next couple of hours across northern MS.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-16 1-minute data, specifically the cloud phase
    distinction RGB, has shown vertical development in TCU with
    beginnings of glaciation from near the Mississippi River in far
    northeast LA into north-central MS over the past 30 minutes. Should
    this trend continue and semi-discrete cells develop, a corridor of
    greater relative severe threat can be expected over the next 2-3
    hours across the MCD area.=20

    A surface boundary from morning convection extends from near Tunica,
    eastward across northern MS. To the south of this boundary,
    temperatures have warmed into the upper 70s with dewpoints in the
    upper 60s to near 70 F. This has resulted in rather quick
    destabilization with MLCAPE ranging from 500-1500 J/kg. Recent VWP
    data from KGWX shows a vertically veering wind profile with a
    somewhat small, but favorably curved low-level hodograph. Low-level
    shear is forecast to improve somewhat with time, resulting in
    slightly larger hodographs and a more favorable environment to
    support supercells capable of producing a few tornadoes this
    afternoon.
