MD 0490 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 126... FOR EXTREME SOUTHEAST OK INTO MUCH OF AR...WESTERN TN...AND THE MO BOOTHEEL
Mesoscale Discussion 0490 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0841 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024 Areas affected...Extreme southeast OK into much of AR...western TN...and the MO Bootheel Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 126... Valid 190141Z - 190315Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 126 continues. SUMMARY...Some increase in severe potential remains possible later this evening. New watch issuance is possible if storms begin to increase. DISCUSSION...Convection has thus far struggled to intensify from southeast OK into western AR, likely due to remnant weak capping (as noted on the 00Z LZK sounding) and a lack of stronger large-scale ascent. However, WV imagery suggests a weak shortwave trough may be approaching the region, and a stronger cold frontal surge is expected into a larger part of AR later this evening. These factors may result in increasing storm coverage with time tonight near the front as it moves southeastward. Rich low-level moisture (with dewpoints near 70F) beneath modestly steep midlevel lapse rates will continue to support MLCAPE in excess of 2000 J/kg prior to frontal passage, with deep-layer shear remaining sufficient for organized convection. A few stronger cells/clusters may evolve with time, with an attendant threat of large hail, locally damaging winds, and possibly a tornado. With the threat eventually expected to spread eastward and extend beyond the expiration time of WW 126, new watch issuance is possible. ..Dean/Guyer.. 04/19/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
