Areas affected...Parts of northwest Arkansas

Concerning...Tornado Watch 297...

Valid 200104Z - 200230Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 297 continues.

SUMMARY...The risk of tornadoes (some possibly strong) and damaging
winds continues spreading eastward across parts of northwest
Arkansas.

DISCUSSION...A north/south-oriented MCS is tracking eastward across
northwest Arkansas. Around 50 kt of 0-6 km shear (per area VWP data)
is oriented oblique to the gust front of this system, which is
supporting the maintenance of several deeper/embedded rotating
updrafts -- aided by moderately unstable surface-based inflow (see
LZK 00Z sounding). These embedded supercell/mesovortex structures
will continue to pose a tornado risk (some possibly strong) with
eastward extent -- given ample low-level streamwise vorticity (300
m2/s2 0-1km SRH sampled by LZK VWP). Damaging winds will also remain
possible, especially in the vicinity of any
supercells/mesovorticies.
