HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
955 PM CST SAT FEB 24 2001

...THUNDERSTORMS...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT OVER NORTH CENTRAL
AND EAST CENTRAL PORTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI. THE LARGEST THREAT FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL GENERALLY BE EAST OF A EUPORA TO CARTHAGE
LINE...AND NORTH OF A CARTHAGE TO DEKALB LINE. NON-SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
ARE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND
SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI.

THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION FROM A
TORNADO AND LARGE HAIL THREAT...TO A DAMAGING WIND THREAT...AS THE
MAIN STORM COMPLEX SHIFTS EASTWARD ACROSS MISSISSIPPI. THE INTENSE
STORM SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SEVERE WEATHER IS PUSHING NORTHEAST
AWAY FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION. EXPECT THE THREAT FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO DIMINISH TOWARDS MORNING...AS THE STORM
SYSTEM MOVES AWAY.

...FLOODING...
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS LIKLEY WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP OVERNIGHT.
DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL ALLOW STORMS TO MOVE REPEATEDLY OVER THE
SAME AREAS CAUSING PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING AND POORLY DRAINED
AREAS.

...NON PRECIPITATION...
SOUTH WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH...WITH A FEW HIGHER GUSTS...WILL AFFECT
SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND MUCH OF MISSISSIPPI
THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY AND
DIMINISH TOWARDS MORNING.
