DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK CORR 1  
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0437 PM CDT WED MAR 17 2021  
  
VALID 172000Z - 181200Z  
  
...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS  
ALABAMA...MISSISSIPPI...FAR NORTHEAST LOUISIANA AND FAR SOUTHEAST  
ARKANSAS...  
  
CORRECTED TO CHANGE I-80 TO HIGHWAY-80  
   
..SUMMARY  
  
A SIGNIFICANT TORNADO OUTBREAK IS EXPECTED WITH NUMEROUS STRONG AND  
A FEW LONG-TRACK, POTENTIALLY VIOLENT TORNADOES. THE INITIAL ROUND  
WILL CONTINUE ACROSS ALABAMA THIS AFTERNOON. A SEPARATE SWATH SHOULD  
EMANATE FROM FAR NORTHEAST LOUISIANA THIS AFTERNOON AND SPREAD EAST  
ACROSS MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT.  
   
..DISCUSSION  
  
A FEW CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE OUTLOOK FOR THIS ISSUANCE. THE  
FIRST CHANGE IS TO MOVE THE HIGH RISK AREA SOUTHWARD TO INCLUDE MORE  
OF SOUTH-CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA. THE 45 PERCENT  
CONTOUR HAS ALSO BEEN ADJUSTED SOUTHWARD, TO ENCOMPASS THE FIRST  
PHASE OF THE TORNADO OUTBREAK ONGOING IN SOUTHWEST ALABAMA. THE  
NEWEST TORNADO OUTBREAK MODEL GUIDANCE PLACES THE GREATEST THREAT  
ALONG A CORRIDOR EAST-NORTHEAST FROM NEAR JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI  
EAST-NORTHEAST ALONG THE HIGHWAY-80 CORRIDOR INTO THE AREA TO THE  
SOUTH OF TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA.   
  
THE SECOND IS TO EXTEND THE SLIGHT RISK WESTWARD INTO PARTS OF  
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING AND WILL SPREAD  
NORTHWARD ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON. WIND DAMAGE,  
ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND A TORNADO OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE  
STORMS.  
  
THE THIRD CHANGE IS TO REMOVE THE ENHANCED RISK FROM SOUTHWEST  
MISSOURI. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA  
AND IT APPEARS, THAT THE DISTRIBUTION OF REPORTS WILL BE OVER A  
BROADER AREA AND MORE ISOLATED THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.

LLJ will be ramping up from here on out

Instability perhaps not as much as forecast but still 1000-1800 CAPE (vs 1500-2200) 

winds backing over N MS now too

tons of discrete storms from MS into AL in two east-west lines

if storms can remain that way when LLJ ramps up..look out

From earlier today. Looks pretty big but the base is obscured by the hill...from what I’m seeing these tornadoes don’t look super intense but there’s sure as hell a lot of touchdowns. That’s obviously a premature observation with a long way to go, hopefully it stays that way. Anyone else think MS might of kinda dodge a bullet as well? The main line of storms is getting ready to move through Jackson.

Clayton was missed earlier but this May hit them head on, or at least nail the exit where Peach Park is.

I think you mean Clanton.  Yeah, a late close friend of mine and I went there to the Peach Park about 3 years ago. It's a very nice spot to go for fresh peaches, peach cobbler, and homemade peach-flavor ice cream.  Greater Birmingham has been hammered by this outbreak today

Ya bad choice of words on my part, but looks like Jackson area could be good once the line passes through. One TOR warned cell on that line but not to impressive on velocity scans.

Not with the pacific front still back in Texas. It's only 22:30z. Up until this morning the main tornado threat wasn't until after 00z.
