NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0234 PM CDT MON MAY 19 2025
AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF
MISSISSIPPI...TENNESSEE...AND MISSOURI
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 191934Z - 192130Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT
SUMMARY...ISOLATED CONVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHEAST
ARKANSAS/PARTS OF THE MID-MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY MAY SUFFICIENTLY
INTENSIFY TO POSE A HAIL/WIND THREAT THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON.
COVERAGE OF STRONG/SEVERE STORMS SHOULD REMAIN TOO LIMITED FOR WATCH
ISSUANCE.
DISCUSSION...OVER THE PAST HOUR, SHALLOW CONVECTION HAS PERCOLATED
ACROSS NORTHEAST AR AS TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE MID 80S AMID LOW
TO MID 70 DEWPOINTS. WITHIN THE LAST 15 MINUTES, GOES IR IMAGERY
SHOWS A FEW DEEPER TOWERS DEVELOPING, SUGGESTING THAT THIS
CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO OVERCOME LINGERING MLCIN AND FULLY
REALIZING THE HIGH-BUOYANCY ENVIRONMENT (MLCAPE ESTIMATED BETWEEN
2500-3000 J/KG). 30-40 KNOT FLOW BETWEEN 5-6 KM SAMPLED BY REGIONAL
VWPS IS SUPPORTING BULK SHEAR VALUES AROUND 30 KNOTS, WHICH SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT A FEW STRONGER/SEVERE CELLS THROUGH LATE
AFTERNOON. LARGE HAIL SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN WITH
DEEPER/STRONGER CELLS, THOUGH NUMEROUS STORMS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY MAY
PROMOTE DESTRUCTIVE STORM INTERACTIONS AND/OR SOME DEGREE OF
CLUSTERING WITH AN MORE PRONOUNCED DAMAGING WIND THREAT. IN GENERAL,
SEVERE STORM COVERAGE SHOULD REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY LIMITED DUE TO WEAK
FORCING FOR ASCENT TO PRECLUDE WATCH ISSUANCE AT THIS TIME (THOUGH A
MORE ROBUST/WIDESPREAD SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO EMERGE LATER
TONIGHT).
