   Areas affected...Parts of the Mid-South

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 201...

   Valid 010233Z - 010330Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 201
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Risk of locally damaging wind gusts persists with an MCS
   tracking eastward across the Mid-South.

   DISCUSSION...A north/south-oriented MCS continues tracking eastward
   across the Mid-South at around 30-40 kt. Despite some weakening of
   this system, the well-established cold pool and around 40 kt of 0-6
   km shear (per NQA VWP) is supporting embedded severe wind gusts
   (recent measured gusts of 55-65 mph in northwest MS). As the MCS
   continues eastward amid increasing nocturnal inhibition, continued
   weakening is expected. Therefore, a downstream watch is not
   currently expected, though convective trends will be monitored.
