Not much has changed from my thinking last night. Below is the tornado threat from the latest SPC update. For MS, they've made it more along the threat area I outlined here yesterday but expanded a little more north to go up into NE MS. They also now have all of western AL.
An ongoing QLCS is pushing towards the state. This will be capable of some severe storms and maybe a brief tornado in the western part of the state this morning. However, as daytime heating increases instability this afternoon, the line is expected to intensify once it approaches the eastern part of the state. Wind profiles for this storm are very impressive with long curved hodographs. This will allow the severe storms to form and maintain rotation. What will help mitigate the tornado threat is that storm mode will be linear in nature. The areas to watch will be with any semi-discrete cells that may form ahead of the line and the northern edge of line segments within the line. Those will be the most favored areas for tornado development. That's not to say you can't get tornadoes in the middle of a line segment because you can. If your radar app only has reflectivity then look for little upward pointing hooks on the line if in the middle of the segment.
All in all this doesn't appear to be a major event, but could be widespread wind with a few isolated tornadoes just due to the amount of wind shear available. Looks to be pushing out of MS by early afternoon. If storms look to be significant as they approach eastern MS I'll be out chasing around the golden triangle area.
