MD 0242 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN OHIO INTO NORTHWESTERN WEST VIRGINIA
Mesoscale Discussion 0242
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0625 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024
Areas affected...Portions of southern and eastern Ohio into
northwestern West Virginia
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 142325Z - 150100Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Discrete storms have tried to initiate in southwestern
Ohio into northern Kentucky. Additional organized storms will
eventually reach the upper Ohio Valley later this evening. The need
for a watch is quite uncertain in the short term, but convective
trends will be monitored.
DISCUSSION...Storms have attempted to initiate in southwestern Ohio
into northern Kentucky. While it is not clear whether this activity
will mature, regional VAD profiles suggest that these storms would
be capable of large hail and tornadoes. Later in the evening, storms
currently in southern Illinois into central Indiana will likely
reach the upper Ohio Valley. An airmass supportive of severe storms
continues to try and work eastward. There is at least some
possibility that an organized line will reach these areas and
require a downstream watch. However, uncertainty remains too high to
issue one at this time. Convective trends will continue to be
monitored.

MD 0243 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 45...46... FOR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...FAR SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0243
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0628 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024
Areas affected...Southeast Oklahoma...Far Southwest
Arkansas...Northeast Texas
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 45...46...
Valid 142328Z - 150130Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 45, 46
continues.
SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms, associated with large hail
and wind damage, will continue this evening from southeast Oklahoma
into parts of northeast Texas. The threat should eventually affect
far southwest Arkansas.
DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar from Fort Smith,
Arkansas shows several supercells and multiple short bowing segments
across southeast Oklahoma, with isolated storms developing across
northeast Texas. These storms are located ahead of a cold front in a
moist airmass, where the RAP is estimating MLCAPE in the 1500 to
2500 J/kg range. In addition, a plume of steep mid-level lapse rates
exceeding 8 C/km is located across much of the area. This
thermodynamic environment combined with moderate deep-layer shear
will be favorable for supercells with large hail. The strongest of
storms may be capable of producing hailstones greater than 2 inches
in diameter. As cell coverage increases this evening, an organized
line segment with wind-damage potential could also develop.

MD 0240 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 44... FOR CENTRAL INDIANA INTO WEST-CENTRAL OHIO
Mesoscale Discussion 0240
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0528 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024
Areas affected...Central Indiana into west-central Ohio
Concerning...Tornado Watch 44...
Valid 142228Z - 150000Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 44 continues.
SUMMARY...Large/very-large hail will remain the primary threat with
ongoing storms. The tornado threat may increase early this evening
conditional on storms remaining discrete.
DISCUSSION...Storm coverage has continued to increase in central
Indiana into west-central Ohio. These discrete storms will continue
to be capable of large/very-large (1.5-2.5 in.) hail given the
strong deep-layer shear and steep mid-level lapse rates. Low-level
shear is not overly strong as surface flow remains rather veered.
However, there is an expected increase in the low-level jet within
the mid/upper Ohio Valley this evening. This 850 mb flow will also
be veered, but storms that can remain discrete into the early
evening may pose an increased risk of a tornado.

Mesoscale Discussion 0241
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0531 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024
Areas affected...Southeast Missouri...Arkansas
Concerning...Tornado Watch 43...45...
Valid 142231Z - 150030Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 43, 45 continues.
SUMMARY...A severe threat will continue across southeast Missouri
and Arkansas. Wind damage, large hail and an isolated tornado threat
is expected over the next few hours.
DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar from Springfield,
Missouri shows a well-developed line segment extending southward
across south-central Missouri and north-central Arkansas. An intense
bowing segment is located at the northern end of the line across
Dent, Shannon, and Howell Counties. This feature will move eastward
across southeastern Missouri over the next hour. The forward speed
of the bow was measured at 47 knots, suggesting that wind damage
will be likely along the leading edge. Further south into northern
and western Arkansas, a cluster of strong to severe storms is
ongoing. As convective coverage increases over the next hour,
organization into a line will be possible. If a cold pool can
develop, another bowing segment with wind damage potential would be
possible. Large hail, and an isolated tornado threat may also
develop with discrete storms that obtain supercell structure, and
along the leading edge of any organized bow.

SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms will develop and track across the

two is also possible.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 80
statute miles east and west of a line from 40 miles southeast of
Stephenville TX to 45 miles west northwest of Fort Smith AR. For a

MD 0239 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 43... FOR PORTIONS OF EAST-CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO CENTRAL/SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
Mesoscale Discussion 0239
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0509 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024
Areas affected...Portions of east-central Missouri into
central/southern Illinois
Concerning...Tornado Watch 43...
Valid 142209Z - 142345Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 43 continues.
SUMMARY...The greatest risk for very large hail and tornadoes in the
next 1-2 hours will be in southern Illinois. Intense storms near the
cold front will eventually be overtaken by the front and undergo a
weakening trend.
DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercell storms continues east/southeast
of the St. Louis area. A secondary cluster is also ongoing near the
cold front in west-central/central Illinois. An area of locally
backed surface winds is evident in surface observations ahead of the
more southern cluster of supercells. Despite only modest low-level
shear, this area will pose the greatest risk for tornadoes in the
next hour or two. These storms will also pose a risk of 2-3 inch
hail.
Farther north near the cold front, the threat for tornadoes should
be less. Large/very-large hail will continue to be a threat given
favorable deep-layer shear and storm mode. With the cold front also
beginning to make southward progress, the duration of the severe
threat may be more short-lived farther north. Buoyancy will decrease
behind the front and is not expected to support strong/severe
elevated storms.

* Tornado Watch for portions of
northwestern Arkansas
central and southern Illinois
far southeastern Kansas

900 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
A few tornadoes likely
Widespread large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
inches in diameter likely
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
SUMMARY...Strong/severe thunderstorms will develop across/spread
into Missouri and northwestern Arkansas over the next one to two
hours, expanding eastward across Illinois with time. Along with
