TORNADO WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

       NORTHERN AND WESTERN ALABAMA
       EASTERN MISSISSIPPI
       MIDDLE TENNESSEE

EFFECTIVE THIS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING FROM 1025 PM
UNTIL 500 AM CDT.

TORNADOES...HAIL TO 1.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND
GUSTS TO 70 MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE
AREAS.

THE TORNADO WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 60 STATUTE
MILES EAST AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 55 MILES NORTHEAST OF
NASHVILLE TENNESSEE TO 95 MILES SOUTH SOUTHWEST OF COLUMBUS
MISSISSIPPI.  FOR A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE
ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).

REMEMBER...A TORNADO WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR

DISCUSSION...LINE OF STRONG/SEVERE STORMS EXTENDS FROM WESTERN TN

UNSTABLE AIR MASS.  DAMAGING WINDS APPEAR TO BE THE MAIN THREAT.
HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL VERTICAL SHEAR IS SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO POSE A
RISK OF ISOLATED TORNADOES.

AVIATION...TORNADOES AND A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL
SURFACE AND ALOFT TO 1.5 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE
WIND GUSTS TO 60 KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO
