MD 0250 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 45... FOR FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...FAR NORTHEAST TEXAS...ARKANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0250 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0956 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 Areas affected...Far Southeast Oklahoma...Far Northeast Texas...Arkansas Concerning...Tornado Watch 45... Valid 150256Z - 150500Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 45 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threat will continue over the next few hours from far northeast Texas northeastward into central Arkansas. DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows a broken line of strong to severe storms located across east-central Arkansas, with scattered more discrete cells from western Arkansas southward into the Ark-La-Tex. New convection appears likely to develop to the south of the ongoing storms across south-central Arkansas late this evening. In addition to moderate instability, 0-6 km shear in that areas is estimated to be near 50 knots according to the RAP. This will support continued severe storm development over the next couple of hours. Large hail and isolated wind damage will be possible with supercells. A locally greater wind-damage threat will possible ahead of short bowing line segments. In addition, low-level shear has increased across the region due to a strengthening jet near 850 mb. For this reason, a brief tornado still may occur. ..Broyles.. 03/15/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LZK...SHV...TSA...FWD...

A couple tornadoes possible Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 80 mph possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...A fast-moving line of thunderstorms over southern Missouri will track eastward through the late afternoon and evening, posing a risk of damaging winds gusts and hail. A few tornadoes are also possible. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles north and south of a line from 15 miles north northwest of Walnut Ridge AR to 15 miles east southeast of Owensboro KY.

MD 0249 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 43...44...47... FOR FAR SOUTHEASTERN ILLINOIS INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA
Mesoscale Discussion 0249 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0858 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 Areas affected...Far southeastern Illinois into southern Indiana Concerning...Tornado Watch 43...44...47... Valid 150158Z - 150300Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 43, 44, 47 continues. SUMMARY...Damaging winds will be the primary threat with an organized line of storms moving into southern Indiana. A line-embedded supercell will be capable of producing a tornado. DISCUSSION...An organized line of convection with an embedded supercell continues east into southern Indiana. This embedded supercell has shown relatively strong low-level rotation and will be the primary focus for tornado potential during the next hour. Damaging winds will also be possible, particularly with the more north-south oriented line. The KVWX VAD showed around 70 kts at 1-1.5 km AGL as the line passed. The eastward extent of the severe threat is somewhat uncertain given the increasing CINH and decreasing buoyancy. However, some destabilization is expected ahead of this line and, with it being organized, it is probable it persists for a few more hours. ..Wendt.. 03/15/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
