    Mesoscale Discussion 0021

    Areas affected...Northern LA...Much of Central and Eastern AR...Far
    Northwest MS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 182350Z - 190215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Some isolated hail is possible from the Arklatex
    northeastward into northeast AR and northwest MS tonight.

    DISCUSSION...A combination of increased large-scale forcing for
    ascent attendant to the approaching upper trough and strengthening
    warm-air advection within the warm conveyor will result in an
    increase in showers and thunderstorms from the Arklatex
    northeastward into northeast AR and northwest MS. Gradually warming
    and moistening low-levels beneath relatively cool mid-levels will
    result in steep lapse rates (i.e. 7 to 7.5 deg C per km) across the
    region. Consequently, MUCAPE values could exceed 1000 J/kg, which
    could support some more robust, longer-lived updrafts.

    Additionally, strong unidirectional flow is already in place. Recent
    SHV VAD profiles sampled 0-6 km shear over 45 kt and objective
    mesoanalysis estimates closer to 60 kt farther north across northern
    AR. These values support the potential for a few rotating/more
    organized updrafts, which could contribute to an increase potential
    for hail. Much of this hail would likely be sub-severe but a few
    instances of one inch hail are possible. Anticipated marginal and
    isolated nature of the threat are expected to preclude the need for
    a watch.
