...OUTBREAK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES EXPECTED OVER
PARTS OF THE LOWER/MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY....TENNESSEE/OHIO
VALLEYS AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS INCLUDING A FEW
STRONG...LONG-TRACK TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF MISSISSIPPI...
ALABAMA...AND TENNESSEE.

THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE

       NORTHERN ALABAMA
       NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI
       WESTERN AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE

SURROUNDING THE HIGH RISK AREA...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY NORTHEASTWARD INTO
THE OHIO VALLEY AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS

AN UPPER STORM SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL MOVE SEWD TOWARDS
THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TODAY AND TONIGHT. IN ADVANCE OF THIS
SYSTEM...BROAD LOW LEVEL LIFT COMBINED WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE
VALLEYS NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT.  STRONG LOW-MID LEVEL WIND FIELDS
COMBINED WITH MODERATE TO VERY STRONG INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT
SUPERCELL STORMS WITH THE LIKELIHOOD FOR TORNADOES /SOME POTENTIALLY
VIOLENT/...VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

ONGOING SEVERE SUPERCELL STORMS ACROSS WESTERN TENNESSEE AND WESTERN
KENTUCKY WILL REMAIN CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADOES...VERY LARGE
HAIL AND STRONG...DAMAGING WINDS.

EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR OVER PORTIONS OF THE
TENNESSEE AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS WILL AID IN THE POTENTIAL
FOR A FEW LONG-TRACK STRONG TORNADOES WITH THE SUPERCELL
THUNDERSTORMS. THE HIGHEST RISK OF STRONG LONG-TRACK TORNADOES WILL
BE FROM NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI/WESTERN TENNESSEE EASTWARD THROUGH
MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND NORTHERN ALABAMA THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING.

THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THOSE IN THE
THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY RULES AND
TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR
POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.
