    Areas affected...southern Mississippi

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 186...

    Valid 062307Z - 070030Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 186 continues.

    SUMMARY...Supercells showing signs of intensification and increasing
    tornado potential.

    DISCUSSION...Supercells crossing the LA/MS border and across
    southern MS have shown an uptick in intensity over the last 30
    minutes. VAD profiles from HDC (Hammond,LA) show increasing the
    850-700 mb flow beginning to be analyzed just south of the MS
    border. This increase in the low to mid-level flow will aid in
    increasing low level shear and thusly an increase in the tornado
    threat this evening.

    The cell moving into Walthall County MS has had a tornado reported
    with it over the last 30 minutes. This cell will continue into a
    favorable thermodynamic environment across southern MS, where
    moderate to strong MLCAPE overlaps strong deep layer shear around
    50-65 kts. This shows signs of cycling and strengthening. This will
    continue to pose a risk for tornadoes including potential for a
    strong tornado.

    Two other supercells across Concordia County LA and across Copiah
    County in MS are also become better organized in the low-levels.
    These are also moving within a very favorable thermodynamic
    environment and may also pose a risk for tornadoes over the next few
    hours.
