Areas affected...portions of northeast LA...southeast AR...southwest TN...northern MS and extreme northwest AL

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

Valid 291644Z - 291845Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

SUMMARY...The severe thunderstorm threat is expected to increase by
18z. Supercells and bowing segments producing a few tornadoes,
damaging gusts and isolated large hail are expected with this
activity. A watch is likely by around 18z

DISCUSSION...An area of showers and isolated thunderstorms across
parts of northern MS/AL and south-central TN will continue to shift east/northeast through early afternoon in a strong warm advection
regime. Airmass recovery in the wake of this activity is evident
across parts of northwest MS into southeastern AR where cloud breaks
are allowing for greater heating. Temperatures to the west and south
of morning precipitation generally are in the low 70s, with upper
60s to low 70s F dewpoints. This is allowing or rather quick
destabilization with MLCAPE values quickly increasing to around
500-1000 J/kg. This trend should continue with northeast extent
across the MCD area as morning precipitation continues to clear.=20

A surface boundary associated with morning convection extends across
parts of southeast AR into northern MS/AL and may serve as a focus
for greater severe thunderstorms potential by early afternoon. A
couple rounds of severe storms may be possible as initial supercell
storms develop in the vicinity of this surface boundary within the
open warm sector, while additional convection spreads eastward from
AR/LA associated with the surface low and cold front. Strong
vertical shear, with effective shear magnitudes greater than 50 kt,
and a southwesterly low level jet increasing to around 40-50 kt
through the day will support supercells. A few tornadoes, one or two
of which could be strong, damaging gusts and isolated large hail is
expected with this activity. With time, convection may develop into
one or more bowing segments closer to the front/surface low. As this
occurs, the threat for damaging wind gusts will increase, with a
continued threat for mesovortex tornadoes given favorable low level
shear and rich boundary-layer moisture. A watch will likely be
needed by around 18z.
