Forecast Notes
* SPC has issued a Mesoscale Discussion for parts of Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. You can read it here:SPC Mesoscale Discussion #264
* Airmass continues to gradually become more unstable. The dewpoint have risen 15 degrees in Meridian since 8 AM, an indicator of the moist air surging northward. We are watching breaks in the clouds across the Arklatex. Areas that see sun will have a more unstable airmass and more severe weather.
* Our thinking is that we'll see a line of thunderstorms in here late tonight, probably between 6pm-midnight. Primary threats will be damaging winds and large hail. Can't rule out an isolated tornado along bowing segments of the line. I would imagine we will be placed under a severe thunderstorm watch later today, especially along and south of Mississippi Highway 16.
* Communicating with the National Weather Service in Jackson via Instant Messenger. This is a really great tool, it allows for instant discussion of the threat for severe weather!

I heard that B'ham use IM during Ivan.
Worked very good.
Sounds like we could have an active night. Still maybe expecting severe weather?
