This is a nice looking MCS entering MS right now. Charging eastward. I wonder how long it will hold together. Most models seem to want to kill it as it enters AL. Wonder if it will hold on longer?

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Northern and central Alabama
Northeastern Arkansas
Central and northern Mississippi
Southern middle and southwestern Tennessee
* Effective this Wednesday night and Thursday morning from 1020
PM until 600 AM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Widespread damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 80 mph possible
Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...A well-organized cluster and separate bow echo initially
over eastern Arkansas, each with a well-developed wind signature and
history of severe gusts, will proceed into and across the watch
area. These systems could merge as well. Severe thunderstorm wind
will remain the main threat, though an embedded tornado or two also
is possible.
