Areas affected...parts of southwestern Arkansas into northeastern
Texas and northern Louisiana

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 311936Z - 312130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Potential for strong to severe wind gusts may increase
with a cluster of storms spreading toward the Ark-La-Tex through 4-5
PM CDT, before activity tends to weaken to the south and southwest
of the region.

DISCUSSION...Vigorous convective development continues a general
slow south/southwestward propagation, in the presence of weakly
sheared light northerly deep-layer mean flow. The most recent
flareup southwest through south of Hot Springs has contributed to
further strengthening of an associated cold pool, with 2-hourly
surface pressure rises in excess of 2 mb noted in 19Z observations
at Arkadelphia and a 28 degree F differential in temperature across
the cold pool between Arkadelphia and Texarkana.

Aided by low-level updraft inflow of seasonably high boundary-layer
moisture content characterized by large CAPE, renewed vigorous
thunderstorm development is ongoing near/just ahead of the
southwestward propagating segment of the outflow across southwestern
Arkansas, toward Texarkana, with an expanding area of northward
spreading anvil-level precipitation in its wake. As this continues
through the next hour or two, it appears possible that
north-northeasterly rear inflow may strengthen/descend and pose
increasing potential for strong to severe gusts across the
Ark-La-Texas vicinity, before the storms encounter more stable
updraft inflow and weaken.
