    Areas affected...portions of the ArkLaTex

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 116...

    Valid 130239Z - 130415Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 116 continues.

    SUMMARY...A well developed bowing MCS over far northeast TX should
    continue eastward across portions of AR and LA over the next several
    hours. The environment remains favorable for damaging wind gusts and
    QLCS tornadoes.

    DISCUSSION...As of 0245 UTC, regional radar analysis showed a
    well-developed bowing MCS located near the northern TX/LA border.
    Ahead of the line, warm advection beneath and 40-50 kt low-level jet
    is transporting rich boundary-layer moisture (TDs upper 60s low 70s
    F) northward, slowing nocturnal stabilization. Continued advection
    of the warm and moist airmass is contributing to roughly 1500-2000
    J/kg of MLCAPE, which should continue to support the MCS as it moves
    eastward into LA/AR. In response to the strengthening flow beneath
    the low-level jet, stronger low-level shear has developed, with ESRH
    of 200-400 M2/s2 observed via regional VAD VWPs. The strengthening
    flow and greater shear should continue to support downward momentum
    transport conducive to damaging wind gusts. A few QLCS tornadoes
    also appear likely given the magnitude of low-level shear and a well
    developed rear-inflow jet as observed by KSHV.

    Several recent attempts at discrete ci ahead of the line also hint
    at a conditional risk for a supercell or two given the favorable
    deep-layer shear (35-45 kt) and potential for low-level updraft
    rotation. While uncertain, should a storm develop and remain ahead
    of the line it would likely present a risk for tornadoes and
    damaging wind gusts through this evening.

    Areas affected...Eastern Kansas and northern Oklahoma

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

    Valid 050115Z - 050315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Damaging wind and hail risk increasing. Watch south and
    west of WW117 may be needed within the next hour.

    DISCUSSION...The surface dry line has retreated westward into
    northwestern Oklahoma within the last couple of hours with moisture
    increasing across central Oklahoma into eastern Kansas. Mid 60s dew
    points have spread as northward into northeastern Kansas and as far
    west as the Oklahoma City Metro. 00z soundings still show inhibition
    firmly in place, which has kept warm sector initiation limited.
    Inhibition has weakened somewhat to the west near the dry line.
    However, development has been ongoing near the merging of the cold
    front and dry line in northern Kansas. Deep layer shear vectors are
    parallel to the approaching front, which has tended to keep storms
    on the boundary with linear storm modes. This will likely continue
    as further initiation spreads southward into southern Kansas and
    Oklahoma with the approaching front this evening. Storms will likely
    be slightly elevated atop the frontal surface, given inhibition
    below 850-700 mb. The profile becomes very unstable above the CIN
    layer, with MUCAPE around 3000 J/kg observed from OUN and TOP. Given
    this environment, threats will include damaging winds and severe
    hail. A downstream watch will be needed within the next hour.

    Areas affected...Parts of northeast and east central Missouri

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 119...

    Valid 162323Z - 170130Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 119
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The risk for widely scattered additional strong to severe thunderstorm development near/east of Columbia and Jefferson City
    into areas northwest of St. Louis may still not be negligible.=20
    However, it appears to be lowering and likely to diminish further
    with the loss of daytime heating. If current trends continue, the
    watch may be cancelled within the next hour or so.

    DISCUSSION...In the wake of an initial band of weakening convection
    which has spread east of the Mississippi River, a moistening
    low-level environment has contributed to a corridor of increasing
    potential instability across much of northeastern into east central
    and south central Missouri. This is ahead of a remnant dryline
    advancing across/east of the Kirksville, Columbia and Springfield vicinities.=20=20

    Renewed discrete thunderstorm development is ongoing as far south as
    areas to the southeast of Kirksville, with additional deepening=20
    convection noted near/west of Columbia and Jefferson City. Some
    convection allowing guidance, including the High Resolution Rapid
    Refresh suggest further intensification of the southern convective
    development might still be possible, before spreading near/to the
    northwest of the Greater St. Louis area through 00-02Z. Based on
    the Rapid Refresh forecast track of a weakening 500 mb jet core, and
    associated mid-level subsidence/warming, this would seem be the southern/southeastern limit for stronger convective development.=20
    However, based on latest water vapor imagery, the potential for new
    storms south of the Hannibal/Quincy area is becoming low.
