Areas affected...Eastern AR...Far Southwest TN...Far Northwest MS
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 140947Z - 141115Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Convective trends are being monitored closely for
potential Tornado Watch issuance across eastern AR, far southwest
TN, and far northwest MS.
DISCUSSION...Air mass recovery is underway across portions of
eastern AR, far southwest TN, and far northwest MS. In this area,
temperatures have increased by 3 to 5 deg F and dewpoints have
increased by 2 to 4 deg F over the past two hours. This has resulted
in an erosion of much of the convective inhibition downstream of the
ongoing thunderstorms over central AR. Mesoanalysis estimates less
than 25 J/kg of MLCIN exists with MLCAPE estimated to be around 1000
J/kg.
In contrast to the only marginally favorable thermodynamics, the
strong wind fields aloft coupled with strong (i.e. around 20 kt)
southeasterly surface winds across the region are contributing to a
strongly sheared environment. Recent NQA VAD profiles sampled over
50 kt of 0-1 km shear and 0-1 km SRH over 500 m2/s2.
Given the marginal thermodynamics and unfavorable time of day,
uncertainty regarding severe coverage is high. Even so, the strength
of the shear merits concern and convective trends of the upstream
storms will be monitored closely.
