    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 4...

    Valid 071311Z - 071415Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 4 continues.

    SUMMARY...Isolated severe gusts (60-70 mph) and perhaps a brief/weak
    tornado (75-110 mph) are possible this morning as a squall line
    moves east towards the MS River. A replacement of severe
    thunderstorm watch 4 over north-central AR combined with including
    areas farther east and northeast is being considered.

    DISCUSSION...Radar imagery shows a squall line from southwest AR
    northeast to the middle part of the AR/MO border. Surface
    observations downstream of the squall line indicate temperatures
    range from near 70 degrees F in central AR to the lower 60s near the
    MS/OH River confluence. Strong low-level moisture transport is
    occurring over the MS Valley and dewpoints range from the middle 60s
    near I-40 to the lower 60s north in western KY. The 12z LZK raob
    showed 900 J/kg MLCAPE with a very strong and veering low-level wind
    profile beneath a 125-kt upper speed max. Given the sufficient
    buoyancy and the very strong shear profile, it appears a risk for
    wind damage and perhaps a tornado will continue through the morning
    with intensification of the squall line in the form of bowing
    segments becoming increasingly probable. Some risk for a tornado
    (max wind speed 75-110 mph based on experimental guidance) may
    accompany the strongest/longer-lived mesovortices.
