   Areas affected...southeastern Louisiana...southern Mississippi...and
   southern Alabama

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 720...721...

   Valid 290139Z - 290245Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 720, 721 continues.

   SUMMARY...Threat for damaging winds and tornadoes continue within
   WW720 and WW721.

   DISCUSSION...A broken line of thunderstorms with embedded supercell
   structures continues to move eastward across southern
   Louisiana/Mississippi. Within the line, mesovortex structures
   continue to be observed on radar. Ahead of this line, semi-discrete
   cells continue to move northward and quickly merge with the line.
   Given this mixed mode, the threat for damaging wind and a tornado or
   two will continue for the next few hours. 

   Ahead of this line near the marine front draped across southern
   Alabama, a supercell has moved inland and continues to exhibit
   mid-level rotation. This cell will eventually move northward into
   more stable air north of the marine boundary but may continue to
   pose risk for a tornado as it moves within mid to upper 60s dew
   point air with deep layer shear around 35-45 kts.
