    Areas affected...for portions of west-central AR

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 40...

    Valid 140006Z - 140030Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 40 continues.

    SUMMARY...A significant tornado threat may increase and areas
    downstream from the Sevier County tornadic supercell ---including
    Montgomery and Yell counties--- are under an increasing tornado
    risk.

    DISCUSSION...A supercell with a history of tornadic activity over
    southwestern AR and northeast TX will continue to the northeast over
    the next 1-2 hours ahead of a north-northeast to south-southwest
    oriented band of thunderstorms. The mesoscale environment
    immediately on the inflow side of the supercell is characterized as
    very moist with surface dewpoints around 70 degrees F. Based on the
    wind profile from the Little Rock (LZK) VAD, around 450 m2/s2 0-1 km
    SRH is present---supportive of low-level mesocyclonegenesis and a
    tornado risk. Similar thermodynamic profiles were sampled by the
    00Z SHV and LZK raobs (very moist through the troposphere with
    moderate buoyancy, 1600-1900 J/kg MLCAPE). Given the strong
    low-level shear and ample buoyancy, the tornado risk may continue to
    increase over the next 30 minutes to 1-2 hours before the supercell
    becomes embedded within the eastward-moving convective band from the
    west.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0246
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0839 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2019

    Areas affected...Central/northeastern Oklahoma...southeastern Kansas...southwestern Missouri...and far northwest Arkansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 291339Z - 291515Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Occasional instances of 1+ inch hailstones are possible
    with stronger thunderstorms over the next couple of hours. A WW
    issuance is not anticipated at this time.

    DISCUSSION...Elevated convection persists along an axis from near
    CQB to near TUL and BVO - and is more widespread than operational
    models depict. Though forcing for ascent aloft is negligible,
    mid-level instability (8.5-9 deg C/km) noted on 12Z soundings and
    subtle speed convergence at the base of this unstable layer (800-850
    mb) is likely forcing ongoing convection along the eastern edge of
    the strongest lapse rates. Though effective shear is marginal, the
    magnitude of lapse rates will continue to support a hail risk with
    the strongest storms, with 1" or greater hail stones possible for
    the next couple of hours.

    Over time, flow at 800-850mb is expected to weaken and back to a
    more south-southwesterly direction in response to cyclogenesis over
    central Kansas. This will likely lead to a weakening of ongoing
    convection as convergence near the base of the lapse rate plume
    weakens. Thus, the isolated nature of the severe threat with
    ongoing convection and expected weakening of this activity precludes
    any need for a WW issuance.
