    Mesoscale Discussion 1669
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0617 PM CST Fri Nov 30 2018

    Areas affected...Northeast TX...Far southeast OK...Most of AR...Northwest/north-central LA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 010017Z - 010115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Threat for severe storms capable of tornadoes continues to
    gradually increase. A Tornado Watch will be needed soon.

    DISCUSSION...Warm advection continues to be the primary forcing for
    ascent, evidenced by linear/arching reflectivity structure and
    fairly transient updrafts. However, stronger forcing for ascent is
    quickly approaching as a potent shortwave trough moves into the
    southern Plains. Storm in Franklin county AR has recently shown
    better organization, shedding a well-developed left-split and
    developing a strong updraft during the past half hour. With the
    increased forcing for ascent, storm coverage is expected to
    increase. The thermodynamic environment is fairly marginal as shown
    by the deep but only weakly unstable layer from the surface up to
    700 mb on the 00Z SHV sounding. Even so, instability is expected to
    gradually increase as mid-level temperatures cool within the
    approaching shortwave. In contrast to the thermodynamics, the
    kinematics are already favorable for rotating storms with an
    increasing low-level jet expected to result in even stronger
    low-level shear profiles. Primary threat will be tornadoes, one or
    two of which could be strong. Damaging wind gusts are also possible.
    Small hail cannot be completely ruled out.
