Areas affected...Northeast TX...Northwest LA...Central and Southern
AR
Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely
Valid 131741Z - 131945Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...Elevated thunderstorm activity over southeast OK and
northeast TX may become rooted in the boundary layer by mid
afternoon. This will increase the risk of intense storms capable of
tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds. A tornado watch will be
needed later today.
DISCUSSION...Radar/satellite imagery shows a band of elevated
convection extending from Pushmataha/Choctaw counties OK southward
into Kaufman/Navarro counties TX. Some increase in intensity has
been noted in the past hour, although activity remains sub-severe.
A substantial capping inversion was in place over this region at
12z, but the 18z FWD/LZK soundings indicate rapid cooling at the
base of the EML and a diminishing cap. Given current trends, the
thunderstorm activity may become surface-based in the next couple of
hours.
Strong low-level wind fields will remain in place ahead of the
convection, and may increase through early evening. Local VAD
profiles already show 0-3 km SRH values of 300-400 m2/s2 with
forecast soundings suggesting values over 500 m2/s2 this evening.
Assuming activity can remain semi-discrete, a few intense supercells
are likely to evolve. Parameters appear favorable for the risk of
strong tornadoes, along with large hail and damaging winds. PDS
wording is being considered in the tornado watch for this region.
