MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0351
  NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
  0428 PM CDT MON APR 04 2011
 
  AREAS AFFECTED...SE LA...SRN MS...CNTRL/SRN AL...NW GA
 
  CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH NEEDED SOON
 
  VALID 042128Z - 042230Z
 
  NEW TORNADO WATCHES WILL BE ISSUED SOON FOR AN EXPANSIVE AREA FROM
  SE LA NEWD INTO NW GA.  
 
  EXTENSIVE QLCS SPANS THE OH VLY TO THE WRN GULF COAST AT 21Z. LATEST
  MESOANALYSIS SHOWS STRONG TWO-HOURLY PRESSURE FALLS IN EXCESS OF 4.5
  MB FROM NEAR JACKSON NEWD TO BIRMINGHAM.  THIS WILL RESULT IN
  ENHANCED SLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW AND BOOST RISK FOR STRONG TORNADOES
  ACROSS THE ZONE LATER THIS EVENING.  STRONG CAP AHEAD OF THE QLCS
  WILL PROBABLY INHIBIT STORMS IN THE WARM SECTOR...BUT SUPERCELLS
  WITHIN THE LINE WILL BE CAPABLE OF TORNADOES.
  OTHERWISE...BOWS/LEWPS WILL BRING CORRIDORS OF VERY STRONG WIND
  GUSTS.
