NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
350 AM CST Sat Jan 10 2026

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Tornado Watch for portions of 
  Central Alabama
  Northwest Georgia
  Southeast Mississippi

* Effective this Saturday morning from 350 AM until 1000 AM CST.

* Primary threats include...
  A few tornadoes possible
  Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will increase in coverage and intensity
through the morning as an upper trough approaches.  Low-level shear
profiles will strengthen, posing a risk of a few supercells capable
of tornadoes and locally damaging wind gusts.

The tornado watch area is approximately along and 50 statute miles
north and south of a line from 10 miles northwest of Mc Comb MS to
30 miles east of Anniston AL. For a complete depiction of the watch
see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
and possible warnings.

&&

OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 2...

AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
surface and aloft to 0.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean
storm motion vector 24035.

Day 4-8 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0340 AM CST Sat Jan 10 2026

Valid 131200Z - 181200Z

...DISCUSSION...
A large-scale upper-level trough is forecast to develop across the
central and eastern U.S. during the mid-week. This feature is
forecast to move eastward toward the Atlantic Seaboard late in the
week, as another trough takes its place further west across the
Mississippi Valley. In response to the pattern, a large area of high
pressure is forecast to settle into the central U.S. on Wednesday
and move slowly across the Gulf Coast region on Thursday and Friday.
Another large area of high pressure is forecast to move southward
into the western and central U.S. by the weekend. As a result, the
airmass across most of the continental U.S. during the mid to late
week should be cold and relatively dry, suggesting thunderstorm
development will be unlikely during the Day 4 to 8 period.

Day 3 Convective Outlook

0225 AM CST Sat Jan 10 2026

Valid 121200Z - 131200Z

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected across the U.S. on Monday and Monday
night.

...DISCUSSION...
A large-scale upper-level trough will remain over the eastern U.S.
on Monday, as a mid-level shortwave trough moves southeastward into
the north-central states Monday night. At the surface, an area of
high pressure will remain anchored over the Gulf Coast states on
Monday, as a cool and dry airmass remains in place over much of the
continental U.S. For this reason, thunderstorms are not expected to
develop over the nation Monday or Monday night.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0102 AM CST Sat Jan 10 2026

Valid 111200Z - 121200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Troughing over the eastern US will continue to intensify as it moves
offshore D2/Sunday. Strong west/northwesterly flow aloft will
overspread much of the Mid Atlantic and southeast states through the
day. Considerable rainfall associated with the trough and an
advancing surface cold front will likely mitigate fire weather
concerns from the northern Gulf Coast into the Mid Atlantic.
However, rain  will be less common over portions of southern
Georgia, the Coastal Plains of the Carolinas and northern Florida.
As the front moves offshore, dry northerly flow is likely with gusts
of 15-20 mph and RH below 35%. Brief, locally elevated fire-weather
conditions are possible along the immediate coastal plain. However,
fuels here remain only marginally receptive to fire spread in areas
without recent precipitation. Thus, broader fire-weather concerns
appear unlikely.

Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1258 AM CST Sat Jan 10 2026

Valid 101200Z - 111200Z

...Synopsis...
Broad mid-level troughing will intensify as it moves eastward across
the US today and tonight. A cold front will sweep southeastward
through the Plains and southeast States with showers and
thunderstorms ahead of it. Strong high pressure will rapidly build
over the Rockies and western states. A dry post-frontal air mass
will develop in the wake of the front, with the driest portions
expected across parts of the Edwards Plateau and the Rio Grande
Valley. Downslope and gusty northerly winds of 20-25 mph will
overlap with RH values as low as 15-20% this afternoon. While some
rain has fallen over the eastern portions of south-central TX,
overall fuels remain quite dry. This will promote a few hours of
Elevated fire weather conditions in the Rio Grande Valley and
Edwards Plateau this afternoon. Fire weather concerns will quickly
diminish this evening as winds weaken and colder temperatures settle
into region.

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected across the U.S. on Sunday or Sunday
night.

...DISCUSSION...
An upper-level trough over the mid Mississippi Valley will move to
the Atlantic Seaboard on Sunday, as northwesterly mid-level flow
becomes established over much of the central and eastern part of the
U.S. At the surface, an area of high pressure will remain over the
south-central and southeastern U.S. The pattern will keep a dry and
cool airmass in place over most of the continental U.S., making
thunderstorm development unlikely in the U.S. Sunday and Sunday
night.
