National Weather Force has issued a Tornado Watch effective for Mississippi, effective this evening till midnight.
An upper-level system out of the west will move into the region today. An impulse out of Arkansas will be the focus spot from northwest to southeast zipping a line of storm cells this evening. Dewpoints are up and the temperature is rising. Backing southeast winds will accompany the surface low to bring a tornado probability, mainly along the watch area and centering North to Central parts of the state. Storms will move predominately to the southeast with time.
National Weather Force Tornado Risk Analysis Model (TRAM) is pegging a notable to moderate tornado dynamics risk today in the focus areas spoken of, which means that strong tornadoes cannot be ruled out, which should last even into the night with a valid tornado threat so have your radios handy as nighttime tornadoes cannot be seen and are considered the most dangerous.
Large hail and damaging winds will also accompany the watch area.
