Areas affected...Northeast Texas...Southern Arkansas...Far Northern
Louisiana
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 284...
Valid 222147Z - 222345Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 284
continues.
SUMMARY...A severe threat is likely to continue for a few more hours
from northeast Texas eastward into southern Arkansas and far
northern Louisiana. Wind damage, hail and perhaps a tornado or two
will be possible. A new watch is being issued for parts of the
Ark-La-Tex.
DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery from Shreveport shows
scattered strong to severe storms from northeast Texas into
southwestern Arkansas, with a couple supercells ongoing. The storms
are located near an axis of strong to extreme instability, where the
RAP is estimated MLCAPE in the 4500 to 5500 J/kg range. In addition,
the Little Rock and Shreveport WSR-88D VWPs have 0-6 km shear in the
50 to 60 knot range. Forecast soundings in the Ark-La-Tex have
700-500 mb lapse rates in the 8 to 8.5 C/km range. This enviroment
will be favorable for supercells with large hail, and hailstones
greater than 2 inches in diameter will be possible with the
strongest of updrafts. Wind damage will be likely with supercells
and the more intense line segments. Low-level shear will also be
sufficient for a tornado or two.
