    Areas affected...portions of central Arizona

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

    Valid 072203Z - 080000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple of severe gusts and perhaps some small hail may
    accompany the stronger pulse storms through the evening.

    DISCUSSION...Pulse thunderstorms have been increasing in coverage
    and intensity over the past hour or so across central AZ per MRMS
    mosaic radar imagery. Afternoon peak heating has encouraged the
    mixing of the boundary layer up to 600 mb (per 20Z RAP forecast
    soundings), supporting 8+ C/km 0-3 km lapse rates. This relatively
    dry boundary layer is also overspread by 7 C/km mid-level lapse
    rates (per 21Z mesoanalysis), which is contributing up to 1500 J/kg
    MLCAPE. These storms have developed off of the higher terrain and
    are gradually propagating southward in an environment characterized
    by rich monsoonal mid-level moisture and precipitable water values
    approaching 1.5 inches. Given the mid-level moisture atop the dry
    boundary layer, DCAPE is approaching 1000 J/kg in spots, which may
    support a couple of severe gusts with the stronger downbursts. While tropospheric shear is weak overall across the Southwest, 15 kts of
    500 mb easterly flow, evident via the TUS 18Z observed sounding and
    21Z mesoanalysis, may assist in some convective propagation and
    perhaps loose organization across the desert floor this evening.

    Mesoscale Discussion 1665
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1217 PM CDT Fri Jul 21 2023

    Areas affected...Central Arkansas...northeastern
    Mississippi...southwestern Tennessee

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

    Valid 211717Z - 211815Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Damaging wind threat increasing. Area is being monitored
    for Severe Thunderstorm Watch potential.

    DISCUSSION...Recent radar imagery showed intensification in a bowing
    line of storms moving through northern Arkansas. A 55 mph wind gusts
    was recorded at the Searcy Municipal Airport outside of Searcy, AR.
    This coincides well with an area of enhanced wind (50-55 kts)
    observed just off the surface on radar from KLZK. Several storm
    mergers have since occurred within the apex of this bow but the
    recent radar observations indicate a region of 50-60 kts aloft
    around 2500-3000 kft. The line continues to move along a gradient of
    MLCAPE around 500-1500 J/kg. The continued favorable wind signal in
    radar in combination with an increase in forward propagation of the
    line does raise some concern for downstream wind risk. In addition,
    agitated cu has developed across portions of southwestern Tennessee
    with the potential for further development ahead of this line of
    storms.
