...New UPDATE...

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 136 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025

Low level convergence has remained sufficient enough across
northern portions of our forecast area as surface winds have
tended to remain somewhat backed. This has allowed for convection
along the line in interior southwest into south central Alabama to
continue to produce severe winds and potentially an isolated
tornado.

Further south across far southeast Mississippi and coastal
Alabama, surface winds have tended to veer as the northern part of
the upper shortwave through has raced east and taken on a negative
tilt and broken away from the southern half of the trough. This
has allowed for southern portions of the convective line to become
undercut and slightly elevated behind the cold front. The overall
evolution of this system has become quite complex. Despite the
southern end of the convective line becoming slightly elevated,
these storms will still be capable of producing wind gusts
approaching but likely just below severe limits.

We will continue to monitor trends and provide updates as
necessary. /JLH
