   Areas affected...Portions of the Mid-South

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 98...

   Valid 022312Z - 030045Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 98 continues.

   SUMMARY...Numerous discrete supercells are intensifying in a very
   favorable environment for strong to intense tornadoes across the
   Mid-South.

   DISCUSSION...Numerous discrete right-moving supercells are
   intensifying across the open warm sector in the Mid-South as of 23Z.
   The NQA VWP depicts very large, clockwise-curved hodographs with
   ample streamwise vorticity for these storms (around 330 m2/s2 0-500m
   SRH). Given a moist/unstable boundary layer, ample low-level shear,
   and the well-established discrete supercells, several strong to
   intense tornadoes are possible through this corridor over the next
   couple hours.
