Areas affected...central and southern Arkansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 231304Z - 231500Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A strong gust or two -- or marginal hailstone -- will
remain possible across central/southern Arkansas over the next
couple of hours.  Marginal/isolated nature of the risk should
preclude WW issuance.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows storms over southwestern
Arkansas evolving a bit upscale linearly, with some bowing evident
-- suggesting an at least somewhat-organized cold pool.  Flow
through the lower troposphere remains moderate/southwesterly, and
thus not overly supporting well-organized storms.  Additionally the
morning LZK RAOB reveals an anticipated/nocturnally induced weakly
stable surface-based layer.  These factors should act to limit
overall wind risk, but with a stronger gust or two possible.
Marginal hail near severe levels may occur with a stronger updraft
or two.  Overall however, given limited local risk apparent at this
time, WW issuance is not expected at this time.
