    Areas affected...portions of central/northern LA into
    southern/central MS

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 123...

    Valid 132036Z - 132200Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 123 continues.

    SUMMARY...Convection is slowly increasing in coverage and intensity.
    Should semi-discrete cells ahead of the cold front become better
    organized, the tornado threat will increase over the next 1-3 hours.

    DISCUSSION...Convection continues to increase across
    northern/central LA this afternoon. An additional band of convection
    is also noted along a weak low-level confluence band from near HEZ
    in MS to BTR in LA. Moderate instability resides across the region
    where upper 60s to low 70s surface dewpoints are in place.
    Convection has still been struggling to organized, despite effective
    shear magnitudes greater than 40 kt and sufficient large-scale
    ascent. Of note in visible satellite loops is that while storm
    motion is toward the northeast, the anvils attached to stronger
    storms have been spreading east or even southeast. This is
    consistent with forecast hodographs showing backed midlevel winds,
    and as a result, some cooling within (from anvil shadow), and
    precipitation into storm inflow, may be occurring, ultimately
    causing issues for storm organization.

    With time, RAP forecast hodographs across parts of northern LA into
    central MS improve and would allow convection to become better
    organized and updrafts to remain sustained over a longer time period
    within the favorable thermodynamic environment. If this occurs, any
    discrete convection would see an increase in tornado potential, with
    perhaps a strong tornado or two occurring over the next 1-3 hours.
    Otherwise, convection further west should consolidate near the cold
    front into early evening with an attendant risk for damaging gusts
    and QLCS tornadoes.

    Areas affected...southern Indiana ito portions of northern
    Kentucky...and southwestern Ohio

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

    Valid 051409Z - 051515Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms should increase in coverage through the
    morning hours. Strong wind fields may support a risk for damaging
    wind gusts and isolated tornadoes. A new Tornado Watch is likely
    soon.

    DISCUSSION...As of 1405 UTC regional radar imagery showed a complex
    convective situation unfolding with multiple bands of thunderstorms
    along and ahead of the slow moving cold front over the mid MS
    valley. Additional incipient storms were noted over southern IN over
    the last 30 min. Area RAP soundings and VAD/VWP data shows strong
    wind fields (400+ m2/s2 ESRH) are in place over a moist and
    moderately unstable air mass (500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE). As the
    prefrontal storms mature, a risk for damaging wind gusts and
    isolated tornadoes may evolve given the degree of low-level shear
    present. Additional severe risk may also persist as the frontal
    storms move in from the west. The primary concern remains damaging
    winds given the mixed mode of supercells and linear structures.
    However, isolated tornadoes will be possible. A new Tornado Watch
    will likely be needed soon.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0482

    Areas affected...eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 182001Z - 182200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered supercells are possible this afternoon/evening.

    DISCUSSION...A strong cold front continues to move rapidly across
    Oklahoma this afternoon. Temperatures ahead of the front have warmed
    into the upper 70s to near 80 across eastern Oklahoma with a moist
    airmass featuring dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s. This yields
    over 2500 J/kg MLCAPE and effective shear around 40 to 45 knots.
    This parameter space is quite favorable for supercells capable of
    large to very large hail if storms form. However, there is
    considerable uncertainty regarding convective coverage this
    afternoon/evening. Despite strong convergence along the front in
    northeast Oklahoma, updrafts have struggled to deepen sufficiently
    to produce lightning. KINX base reflectivity indicates this is most
    likely due to storms struggling to stay anchored to, or ahead of,
    the cold front in the warm air. Stronger mid-level flow, the arrival
    of which likely coincides with mid-upper level cirrus moving across
    western Oklahoma now, may assist in storms remaining along or ahead
    of the front later this afternoon. Therefore, anticipate storms may
    struggle for the next 1 to 2 hours before a better chance of a few
    strong to severe supercells occurs later this afternoon/evening with
    the arrival of this mid-level speed max.
