    Mesoscale Discussion 1863
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1114 AM CDT Fri Oct 15 2021

    Areas affected...central and northeast Arkansas into far western
    Kentucky and Tennessee

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 151614Z - 151845Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered storms, some possibly severe producing damaging
    gusts, are expected to develop over the next few hours from Arkansas
    into western Kentucky and Tennessee.

    DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows a cold front from northern AR
    into southern IL and IN, with 68-72 F dewpoints ahead of it. Gradual
    height falls will continue over the region as the shortwave trough
    moves toward the MS Valley, as pockets of heating aid
    destabilization.

    Objective analysis and modified forecast sounding indicate around
    1000 J/kg MLCAPE over AR, with lesser values farther northeast. The
    12Z LZK sounding shows a prominent midlevel inversion, which is
    lessening instability. The SGF and ILX soundings also show this
    midlevel warm layer.

    Despite the marginal instability, strong deep-layer shear is in
    place, resulting in primarily long, straight hodographs. Lift along
    the front will prove sufficient to support increasing storm
    coverage, and forward-tilted storms with motions over 35 kt will
    lead to favorable storm-relative inflow. As such, at least a few
    severe cells and/or bows are expected, producing damaging wind
    gusts. Hail may also occur, though not particularly large due to the
    limited instability.
