   Areas affected...far north-central MS into portions of Middle TN

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 104...

   Valid 030543Z - 030715Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 104 continues.

   SUMMARY...A corridor of strong tornado potential may persist another
   1-2 hours across north-central Mississippi into portions of western
   and Middle Tennessee.

   DISCUSSION...Two intense supercells with confirmed tornado debris
   signatures are ongoing across portions of the MCD area. This
   activity is occurring within an intense low-level jet near 60 kt,
   aiding in enhanced 0-1 km SRH near 300 m2/s2 per region VWP data.
   This activity is also within the corridor of max effective STP (near
   2-4). The storms have produced rotational velocity signatures
   greater than 50-60 kt over the past 30 minutes. These supercells
   within the current environment, coupled with radar trends, suggest a
   strong tornado risk will persist downstream for the next 1-2 hours.
