CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 147...
VALID 260442Z - 260645Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 147
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES WITHIN WW147.
DISCUSSION...A PAIR OF SUPERCELLS CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTH AND EAST
SOUTHEASTERN ARKANSAS. THESE CELLS HAVE A HISTORY OF PRODUCING HAIL
UP TO 2.75 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND CONTINUE TO HAVE HIGH MESH CORES.
IN THE SHORT TERM, THESE WILL POSE THE GREATEST SEVERE RISK WITH THE
PRIMARY THREAT BEING LARGE TO VERY LARGE HAIL. WHILE THESE STORMS
ARE LIKELY ELEVATED, SHOULD THEY BE ABLE TO CONTINUE SOUTHWARD INTO
THE WARMER AIR AND VICINITY OF MORE BACKED SURFACE FLOW, A TORNADO
COULD BE POSSIBLE.
CAM GUIDANCE SEEMS TO SUGGEST THAT EVENTUALLY, STORMS WILL CLUSTER
AND MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN LOUISIANA THROUGH THE MORNING. THIS MAY
LEAD TO A SHIFT IN POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE WIND. GIVEN THE
DIURNAL STABILIZING OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER, WINDS MAY NOT MAKE IT TO
THE SURFACE KEEPING THIS THREAT ISOLATED.
