ACUS11 KWNS 070305 SWOMCD SPC MCD 070304 GAZ000-ALZ000-MSZ000-070400- Mesoscale Discussion 0662 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1004 PM CDT Wed May 06 2026 Areas affected...southern Mississippi and southern Alabama Concerning...Tornado Watch 186...187... Valid 070304Z - 070400Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 186, 187 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues within portions of WW186 and WW187. A replacement watch may be needed before 04z. DISCUSSION...The thermodynamic environment continues to trend down across portions of central MS/AL as the front sags southward. Further south, more favorably warm and unstable air and strong deep layer shear remains near the Gulf. With continued steady increase in the LLJ expected across southern MS/AL overnight, a corridor of continuing severe risk looks likely. Given favorable low-level shear profiles, the tornado risk will likely continue into the overnight across these areas. Risk for instances of large hail will also continue. A replacement watch probably will be needed before 04z. ..Thornton.. 05/07/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...FFC...TAE...BMX...MOB...JAN...LIX...
