   Areas affected...Alabama region

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 22...

   Valid 050221Z - 050315Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 22 continues.

   SUMMARY...Squall line with damaging winds will continue to surge
   east. Some tornado risk continues, but this activity should be
   limited.

   DISCUSSION...Well-organized squall line continues in advance of a
   strong short-wave trough. Impressive ESRH is noted ahead of this MCS
   with 50kt just off the surface. Given the very strong wind fields,
   the potential for mixing this stronger flow to the surface remains,
   and damaging winds are the primary concern as this squall line
   advances east at roughly 25-30kt. Discrete updrafts have struggled
   to develop ahead of the line, so a secondary concern, regarding the
   potential for tornadoes, does exist, but mainly with embedded
   circulations.
