SPC MD 657
MD 0657 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 186... FOR SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI

Mesoscale Discussion 0657
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0607 PM CDT Wed May 06 2026

Areas affected...southern Mississippi

Concerning...Tornado Watch 186...

Valid 062307Z - 070030Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 186 continues.

SUMMARY...Supercells showing signs of intensification and increasing
tornado potential.

DISCUSSION...Supercells crossing the LA/MS border and across
southern MS have shown an uptick in intensity over the last 30
minutes. VAD profiles from HDC (Hammond,LA) show increasing the
850-700 mb flow beginning to be analyzed just south of the MS
border. This increase in the low to mid-level flow will aid in
increasing low level shear and thusly an increase in the tornado
threat this evening.

The cell moving into Walthall County MS has had a tornado reported
with it over the last 30 minutes. This cell will continue into a
favorable thermodynamic environment across southern MS, where
moderate to strong MLCAPE overlaps strong deep layer shear around
50-65 kts. This shows signs of cycling and strengthening. This will
continue to pose a risk for tornadoes including potential for a
strong tornado.

Two other supercells across Concordia County LA and across Copiah
County in MS are also become better organized in the low-levels.
These are also moving within a very favorable thermodynamic
environment and may also pose a risk for tornadoes over the next few
hours.

SPC Tornado Watch 186
WW 186 TORNADO LA MS TX 061910Z - 070400Z

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Tornado Watch Number 186
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
210 PM CDT Wed May 6 2026

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Tornado Watch for portions of 
  Central into Southeast Louisiana
  Central and Southern Mississippi
  Far East Texas

* Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 210 PM
  until 1100 PM CDT.

* Primary threats include...
  A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible
  Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
    inches in diameter possible
  Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are forecast to develop and intensify this
afternoon with an accompanying severe risk and continue through the
evening.  A threat for tornadoes will likewise develop this
afternoon and persist into the evening and be most strongly
associated with the stronger supercells.  A strong tornado risk will
probably develop late this afternoon into the evening as low-level
wind shear increases.  Large to very large hail (1 to 2.5 inches in
diameter) and damaging gusts are also possible.

The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles
north and south of a line from 20 miles east southeast of Meridian
MS to 50 miles west of Fort Polk LA. For a complete depiction of the
watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
and possible warnings.

&&

AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean
storm motion vector 26035.

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
240 PM CDT Wed May 6 2026

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Tornado Watch for portions of 
  Alabama

* Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 240 PM
  until 1100 PM CDT.

* Primary threats include...
  A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible
  Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
  Isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible

SUMMARY...Scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast to develop and
intensify through the afternoon and persist through the evening. 
The stronger storms will become supercellular and pose a risk for
tornadoes (a couple being potentially strong), large hail, and
damaging wind gusts. The tornado risk will seemingly be greatest
during the late afternoon and continue into the evening coincident
with stronger low-level wind shear that is forecast to develop.

The tornado watch area is approximately along and 70 statute miles
east and west of a line from 55 miles northwest of Gadsden AL to 30
miles southwest of Evergreen AL. For a complete depiction of the
watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
and possible warnings.

northern Georgia near an earlier boundary. Damaging winds, some
hail, as well as a tornado risk will be possible regionally.

The tornado watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles
east and west of a line from 50 miles south southeast of Columbus GA
to 75 miles north northwest of Athens GA. For a complete depiction
of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
WOU8).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0427 PM CDT Wed May 06 2026

Valid 081200Z - 141200Z

Upper troughing will extend along the eastern U.S. and persist
through early next week as an upper-level low over eastern Canada
remains anchored. This pattern will encourage unsettled weather and
repeated chances for precipitation across portions of the Southeast
to the Mid-Atlantic. Therefore, broader fire weather concerns may
temporarily be dampened for much of the eastern U.S. through the
duration of the forecast period, given a widespread transition to
green-up and expected appreciable precipitation. 

An upper ridge will prevail across the western U.S. through the
forecast period. This pattern may result in a curing event, given
above normal temperatures and dry conditions to persist for much of
the Intermountain West. However, timely green-up phase of fuels and
lighter winds should keep concerns low through early next week.
Localized fire weather concerns may emerge in terrain-favored areas
where stronger winds overlap dry fuels.

Between western U.S. ridging and troughing to the east, broad
northwesterly flow over the High Plains and Upper Midwest is
expected to promote sporadic dry and windy conditions atop drying
fuels. Uncertainty in medium-range guidance precludes critical
probabilities at this time, however, fire weather potential should
become more evident in future outlooks.
