    Areas affected...Northeastern Arkansas...the Missouri
    Bootheel...western Tennessee...and northern Mississippi

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 122...

    Valid 131942Z - 132045Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 122 continues.

    SUMMARY...A squall line is strengthening across northeast Arkansas
    and may pose an increasing damaging wind and tornado threat.

    DISCUSSION...Storm evolution has been messy across most of the
    moderate risk area so far today. However, recent radar imagery from
    KNQA shows at least some strengthening within a squall line across
    northeast Arkansas. This more favorable radar appearance coincides
    with the activity moving into a more unstable airmass with MLCAPE
    around 1000 to 1500 J/kg. Continued warming/moistening ahead of this
    line should lead to additional strengthening through the
    afternoon/evening. A 57 knot wind gust was recently observed in
    Jonesboro, Arkansas, showing observational evidence of the
    strengthening line.=20

    The KNQA VWP shows around 50 knots of flow at 1 km with some
    low-level directional shear. Therefore, QLCS tornadoes will be
    possible within this line as it matures and moves east. The line
    already has a LEWP appearance with multiple inflection points which
    could aid in swaths of stronger wind damage and potential QLCS
    tornadoes.

    Areas affected...central and northern IN...northwest OH...southern
    and central portions of Lower MI

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

    Valid 051109Z - 051315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...A tornado watch will likely need to be considered as the
    airmass continues to destabilize and storms spread into the area
    from the west.

    DISCUSSION...An extensive squall line located over southern WI into
    northern and central IL will rapidly move eastward across the
    southwest portion of the Great Lakes early this morning. A warm
    front currently analyzed over far southern Lower MI will advance
    northward this morning into central portions of Lower MI. South of
    the warm front across northern IN/northwest OH, temperatures are in
    the lower 70s and dewpoints in the lower 60s. Although lapse rates
    will likely remain modest, theta-e advection into Lower MI south of
    the warm front will contribute to weak buoyancy (250-1000 J/kg
    SBCAPE) from parts of central IN northward into central Lower MI.=20
    Enlarged low-level hodographs will be maintained across the
    discussion area prior to squall line passage later this morning into
    the early afternoon. As a result, the environment will support
    swaths of damaging gusts and perhaps locally concentrate severe wind
    potential with any bowing portions of the squall line. At least
    some risk for mesovortex tornadoes will probably accompany localized
    areas within the larger squall line. It remains unclear (low
    probability scenario) whether a more cellular storm mode (i.e.,
    supercells) will evolve ahead of the squall line. Regardless, the
    risk for damaging gusts and the possibility for a couple of
    tornadoes could develop and spread from west to east across adjacent
    portions of IN/Lower MI/OH later this morning into the early
    afternoon.

    Areas affected...northern Louisiana into southern Arkansas and
    western Mississippi

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

    Valid 181431Z - 181630Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Risk for hail -- and eventually locally damaging wind
    gusts -- will gradually expand across southern Arkansas and northern
    Louisiana this morning, spreading into western Mississippi with
    time. Marginal/localized nature of the risk in the short term
    should preclude any need for short-term WW issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Slightly elevated convection continues to evolve across
    the Arkansas/Louisiana border area this morning, within a zone of QG
    ascent ahead of a subtle mid-level impulse moving across east Texas
    per morning water vapor imagery. A few transiently stronger cores
    are noted, aided by moderately strong flow through the middle
    troposphere amidst an environment characterized by about 1000 J/kg most-unstable CAPE.

    The primary short-term risk remains marginally severe hail, with a
    couple of the more vigorous/long-lived updrafts. However, filtered
    insolation through an existing high-cloud deck will yield enough
    surface heating to allow storms to become surface-based with time.=20
    As such, risk for a couple of stronger gusts will manifest as well.=20
    With that said, risk should remain local/limited, given lack of a
    focused low-level ascent, suggesting that WW issuance remains
    unlikely through midday.
