    Areas affected...Northeast Arkansas...northwest
    Tennessee...southwest Kentucky

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 242339Z - 250145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A few storms are possible along an outflow boundary from
    central Arkansas into southwest Kentucky. Severe wind gusts and
    isolated hail will be the main threats. An isolated tornado cannot
    be ruled out with storms that remain within the enhanced vorticity
    near the outflow boundary.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar and visible satellite imagery show an
    outflow boundary from this morning's convection draped from central
    Arkansas into parts of southwest Kentucky. An MCV is also evident
    over southeastern Missouri moving east. A few storms have fired in
    northwest Arkansas and have taken on weakly supercellular structure.
    Storms have tried to initiate in southwest Kentucky and adjacent
    parts of Tennessee, but have struggled to mature. Strong effective
    deep-layer shear of 35-50 kts is present across this area. With
    MLCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg, the strongest storms will be capable of
    severe wind gusts and isolated hail. Given, the presence of strong
    deep-layer shear and enhanced surface vorticity near the outflow
    boundary, an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out for storms that
    can mature and interact with the boundary -- particularly in
    southwest Kentucky with the added influence of the MCV per KPAH VAD. Uncertainty remains with regard to amount of storm coverage. A WW
    may be needed if upward convective trends in coverage or intensity
    continue.
