    Areas affected...Lower Mississippi Valley

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 448...

    Valid 271950Z - 272115Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 448 continues.

    SUMMARY...Strong convection should sag southeast across ww448 over
    the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...Large-scale forcing for ascent is lifting well north of
    ww448 across the TN/OH Valley region. Trailing band of convection
    that stretches across eastern MS into southeast LA is increasingly
    detached from the short-wave trough that is ejecting across the
    Midwest. As LLJ refocuses north of the watch it appears lower MS
    Valley band of convection should gradually propagate southeast
    toward somewhat higher instability air mass located near the central
    Gulf coast. Even so, 18z sounding from LIX does not exhibit
    appreciable boundary-layer buoyancy; however, mid-level lapse rates
    are steep and substantial elevated cape does exist when lifting a
    parcel from 1km above the surface. Locally damaging winds appear to
    be the greatest risk with thunderstorms as they progress across the
    remainder of ww448.
