Convection throughout the day has limited both the mobility of the front and scope of this outbreak. Honestly this is all probably a good thing after the devastation we saw on Easter

And will make for good educational comparisons.....at least up to this point in time.

That shows only 27 knots of 0-3km SRH while the SPC meso page has the cell sitting in an environment with almost 400 0-3 SRH. Small difference 

The difference between actual obs from VWPs and model (in this case RAP) forecasts is remarkable..

Ya there’s definitely something going on the modes aren’t catching. Be interesting to see how things evolve tonight. Some short range models are showing the environment becoming increasingly favorable for tornadoes as the night goes on

While wind profiles look good overnight on the mesoscale models, they've been so far off till now that it's hard to know for sure.

KMOB VWP has improved some, hodograph is still kinda junky looking but it now exhibits >250m^2/s^2 0-1KM SRH... Imagine the LLJ is probably starting to get cranking. Might increase the tornado potential some, but it's not going to increase dramatically in areas with SW SFC winds.

Supercell south of McComb, MS has started to deviate and detach from the convection to its north. Probably seeing the storm of the day evolve.

Obs in front of this storm exhibit local backing with a mix of southeast, south, and south-southwest surface winds observed downstream.

SPC talks about that outflow boundary i mentioned messing things up for the northern cells but is eyeing the southern one

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0637 PM CDT SUN APR 19 2020  
  
AREAS AFFECTED...FAR SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI INTO EASTERN LOUISIANA  
  
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 121...122...123...  
  
VALID 192337Z - 200030Z  
  
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 121, 122, 123 CONTINUES.  
  
SUMMARY...A CORRIDOR FOR HIGHER TORNADO POTENTIAL EXISTS ACROSS FAR  
SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI INTO ADJACENT AREAS OF EASTERN LOUISIANA SOUTH  
OF AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. STORMS MOVING ALONG/SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY  
WILL ENCOUNTER STRONGER LOW-LEVEL SHEAR.  
  
DISCUSSION...AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS MOVED SOUTH FROM CENTRAL  
MISSISSIPPI INTO SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI WHERE WINDS HAVE BACKED TO  
SOUTHEASTERLY ALONG AND JUST SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. A FEW  
SUPERCELLS DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI AND EASTERN  
LOUISIANA IN THE LAST HOUR OR SO, BUT HAVE NOW MOSTLY CONGEALED INTO  
A CLUSTER DUE TO UPSCALE GROWTH AND THE SOUTHWARD MOVING OUTFLOW  
BOUNDARY. HOWEVER, THE SOUTHERN STORM IS STILL EXHIBITING SUPERCELL  
CHARACTERISTICS AND HAS SHOWN MESH VALUES OF 1+ INCH ALTHOUGH  
CONVECTIVE INTERFERENCE HAS WEAKENED IT SOMEWHAT. SURFACE WINDS NEAR  
MCB AND EASTWARD HAVE BACKED TO THE SOUTHEAST INDICATING POTENTIALLY  
HIGHER LOW-LEVEL HELICITY, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE TORNADO THREAT.  
THERE REMAINS UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL CONVECTIVE  
INTERFERENCE AND THAT THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY COULD CONTINUE SLIDING  
SOUTHWARD.
