    Mesoscale Discussion 1676

    Areas affected...Far Northeast Texas...Northern
    Louisiana...Arkansas...Southern Missouri...Far Western
    Tennessee...Northwest Mississippi

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 430...431...

    Valid 010658Z - 010900Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 430, 431 continues.

    SUMMARY...A severe threat will continue across weather watches 430
    and 431 through late tonight. Wind damage, hail and a couple
    tornadoes will be possible with the stronger portions of the line.
    Additional WW likely be needed ahead of the line.

    DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a large-scale bowing MCS
    extending from southwest Missouri into western Arkansas and far
    northeast Texas. The line is being supported by a band of strong
    large-scale ascent evident on water vapor imagery. Ahead of the line
    in far northeast Texas, northwest Louisiana and much of western
    Arkansas, the RAP is showing moderate instability with MLCAPE values
    in the 1000 to 2000 J/kg range decreasing with eastward extent
    toward the Mississippi River. The instability combined with the
    strong forcing and 0-6 km shear of 40 to 50 kt will continue a
    severe threat as the line moves eastward into the mid Mississippi
    Valley over the next couple of hours. Wind damage will be possible
    with the stronger parts of the line. Also, 0-3 km storm-relative
    helicity of 400 to 450 m2/s2 will support an isolated tornado
    threat.

    Further north into southern Missouri, the airmass is weakly
    unstable. However, WSR-88D VWPs show 70 kt of deep-layer shear and
    0-3 km shear storm relative helicity of 450 to 500 m2/s2. The strong
    shear will help to overcome the weak instability sustaining a
    potential for wind damage and a brief tornado.
