716 PM CST THU FEB 21 2013

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

ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-20. MAIN RISK WILL BE FRONT DMG WINDS WITH SOME

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/

THIS EVENING INTO MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT. MAIN ISSUES WILL BE TIMING
THE CONVECTION AND THE FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. THE
00Z TAF ISSUANCE WAS FOCUSED ON THE FIRST 6-10 HRS. IMPROVING
CONDITIONS LOOK LIKELY BEYOND 12-15 FRI. /CME/
