716 PM CST THU FEB 21 2013

...SOME SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS TONIGHT...

SITUATED ROUGHLY FROM VICKSBURG TO CRYSTAL SPRINGS TO HEIDELBURG.
THIS FITS WELL WITH THE CURRENT TOR WATCH.

THE NW AND INCREASING POPS FOR CENTRAL SECTIONS. FURTHER UPDATES
WILL REFINE THE PROGRESSION OF THE RAIN AREA AND LOWERING OF POPS
WILL COINCIDE. /CME/
