Areas affected...Parts of northern Arkansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

Valid 182142Z - 182245Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Risk of severe wind gusts and large hail will continue
spreading eastward into tonight. A watch is likely.

DISCUSSION...An earlier supercell cluster with a history of
producing large hail and severe winds gusts is tracking eastward
along a warm front draped across northern Arkansas. While this storm
is generally right on the boundary, it appears to have access to
moderately unstable surface-based air to its immediate south.
Low/midlevel warm advection is contributing to upscale growth, and
around 50 kt of 0-6 km shear (per nearby VWP) will favor continued organization/upscale growth into an MCS -- with an attendant risk of
severe wind gusts and sporadic large hail. A watch is likely for
parts of the area.
