Coverage Notes

* Quick weather observations....Still no supercells forming ahead of the line, that's good news. The squall line itself is really getting itself together. It has produced a lot of wind damage across northern Louisiana and Arkansas this morning.

* We will be doing several things on our coverage today...We are about to do a quick update on WTOK, followed by another update on FOX Meridian. Also, we are working to get our internet streaming coverage operational in the next hour or so. I'll post when we have that updated...

* SPC update from 1030 AM:

LIMITING FACTOR ATTM IS LACK OF SIGNIFICANT INSTABILITY AHEAD OF LINE. SURFACE DEW POINTS IN THE LOW 60S WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 70S WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR A FEW DISCRETE CELLS AND A POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STRONG TORNADOES AHEAD AND/OR EMBEDDED WITHIN THE SQUALL LINE...HOWEVER DONT EXPECT THIS TO BE WIDESPREAD. STRONG FORCING AND STRENGTH OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR SUGGEST MULTIPLE LINES OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH SIGNIFICANT WIND DAMAGE DUE TO UPPER LEVEL MOMENTUM MIXING DOWN TO THE SURFACE COMBINED WITH QUICK MOVING STORMS.

* Also, a tornado watch will be issued for much, if not all, of our Mississippi counties within the next half hour.
