Areas affected...southern Missouri into northern Arkansas and far
western Tennessee
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20
Valid 221941Z - 222245Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Scattered storms are forecast to gradually form near a
cold front as it moves from southern Missouri into northern
Arkansas. A few storms may produce marginally severe hail.
DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery shows a mixture of cloud
cover across the area, with distinct areas of heating. Recently,
low-topped convection has begun to form along western portions of
the area along the front, within a convergence zone. Area VWPs
indicate the front is several km deep, which will aid boundary-layer
lift and eventual cap breakage.
As gradual low-level warming occurs from the southwest, inhibition
will eventually be eroded near the front/surface trough. Although
moisture is limited with less than 1.00" PWAT and dewpoints in the
50s F, cool temperatures aloft will allow for 500 to perhaps as much
as 1000 J/kg MLCAPE. Low-level winds are relatively weak, but
favorable deep-layer shear exists primarily above 500 mb. As such, a
few storms this afternoon and into the early evening may produce
marginal severe hail, with strong wind potential most likely late as
storms produce aggregate outflow and propagate east/southeast toward
northern MS.
