    Areas affected...portions of northern Arkansas and the Mid-South

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

    Valid 132055Z - 132230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...The threat for damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a
    brief tornado continues across portions of northern/eastern Arkansas
    and will soon spread into western Tennessee and perhaps northern
    Mississippi.

    DISCUSSION...Convective coverage has increased over the past 1-2
    hours along a remnant outflow boundary extending from far
    southwestern Missouri into northern Arkansas and toward the
    mid-Mississippi Valley. The predominant storm mode consists of a mix
    of multicell clusters and occasional supercell structures. MRMS MESH
    estimates have ranged up to 1.5" with some storms, with 1" hail
    previously reported in northern Arkansas. Latest objective analysis
    indicate this activity is approaching a relative maximum in
    available buoyancy along the Mississippi River which could result in
    some increase in the severe potential over the next 1-2 hours, with
    the main risks being large hail and damaging wind gusts.

    Some cells have also exhibited transient periods of enhanced
    low-level rotation. Low-level shear remains weak ahead of the
    remnant outflow boundary, with less than 50 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH sampled
    by the NQA VAD. Thus, any potential for a brief tornado is likely to
    be tied to any cell that can favorably interact with the outflow
    boundary. With greater effective shear remaining displaced to the
    north of the outflow boundary, uncertainty remains regarding storm
    longevity and the magnitude of the severe threat. Trends will
    continue to be monitored for potential watch issuance.
