    Areas affected...portions of northern/central Arkansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 131850Z - 132015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Additional thunderstorm development is expected this
    afternoon across southern Missouri and northern Arkansas along a
    remnant outflow boundary, with a risk for damaging wind gusts and
    large hail.

    DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis and visible satellite data
    depicts a remnant outflow boundary that has recently stalled across
    far southwest Missouri and northern Arkansas. Ahead/south of the
    outflow boundary, rich low-level moisture (dewpoints in the mid-70s
    F) is contributing to the development of strong buoyancy (around
    3000 J/kg MLCAPE). As continued insolation continues to erode
    remaining inhibition, convergence along the outflow boundary is
    likely to support additional strong to severe thunderstorm
    development this afternoon.

    A zone of modestly enhanced mid-level flow (sampled by the SGF VWP)
    downstream of an MCV analyzed over southeast Kansas and modest
    effective shear of 25-35 kts is likely to support some updraft
    organization, with initially discrete cells bringing an isolated
    threat for large hail before a quick transition to a multicell storm
    mode yields a greater threat for damaging winds. A brief tornado
    also cannot be ruled out with any cell that can favorably interact
    with the remnant outflow boundary. The displacement of greater
    effective shear to the north of the outflow boundary is largely
    expected to preclude greater storm organization. A Severe
    Thunderstorm Watch could be needed should a corridor of greater
    severe potential become evident, however.
