    Mesoscale Discussion 1205

    Areas affected...portions of southern AR.

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 301450Z - 301645Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...The remains of an overnight convective complex, having
    entered southwestern AR, may produce strong/isolated severe gusts
    through the remaining forenoon hours. The severe threat presently
    appears too marginal in magnitude and limited in coverage for a
    watch, but will be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Some re-intensification trend has been noted with the
    convective complex over the past 30-60 minutes -- both in IR
    cloud-top cooling and radar-composite imagery. Surface mesoanalysis
    shows a weak, quasistationary frontal zone in preconvective
    environment over southern AR, representing the trailing extension of
    a cold front extending southwestward from a frontal-wave low over
    western KY. A corridor of relatively maximized convergence, in
    otherwise weak boundary-layer flow, may help to focus convective coverage/strength over the next few hours as the residual cold pool
    of the MCS continues forward-propagating along and behind its
    outflow boundary. The favorably moist air mass over southern AR
    should continue to destabilize somewhat before thicker anvil cloud
    cover moves overhead, offsetting modest midlevel lapse rates enough
    to boost MLCAPE to near 1500 J/kg, based on modifications to both
    model soundings and an interpolation of 12Z SHV/LZK RAOBs.
    Low-level and deep shear each will remain weak. The bulk of
    reflectivity may remain several miles behind the outflow boundary,
    except for a warm-advection wing not directly related to the cold
    pool and posing minimal severe threat on its own. As such,
    organized severe potential appears limited, but isolated damaging
    gusts still are possible.
