   Areas affected...east-central Mississippi and eastward across
   central Alabama

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 223...

   Valid 100249Z - 100415Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 223
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Strong/locally severe storms continue across central
   Alabama.

   DISCUSSION...Storms across central Alabama have recently evolved
   into a bowing cluster, which is moving southeastward toward the
   Montgomery area and likely accompanied by damaging winds.

   On this trajectory, the storms will eventually begin to encounter a
   more stable airmass across far southeastern Alabama and into
   southwestern Georgia.  This should eventually prove to be a negative
   in terms of storm intensity/wind risk, and may preclude the urgency
   for a downstream WW.  In the mean time, damaging wind risk has
   increased across east-central Alabama.
