    Areas affected...Portions of AR

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 33...

    Valid 062144Z - 062315Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 33 continues.

    SUMMARY...The greatest severe threat, including the potential for a
    few tornadoes, should focus across parts of Arkansas over the next
    couple of hours.

    DISCUSSION...The VWP from KSRX (Ft. Smith, AR) has shown a marked
    increase in the strength of the low-level winds in the lowest 2 km
    AGL over the past couple of hours. 0-1 km shear based on the most
    recent KSRX VWP is around 40 kt, with deep-layer shear in excess of
    60 kt. Current expectations are for the low-level shear to further
    increase across much of AR late this afternoon and early evening as
    a southerly low-level jet strengthens to 45-50+ kt. Continued
    low-level warm/moist advection to the south of a front and diurnal
    heating are supporting MLCAPE generally in the 1000-1500 J/kg range.

    A 21Z special sounding from LZK shows that an inversion centered
    near 640 mb has eroded/weakened some since 12Z. This inversion has
    probably hindered robust supercell development across the warm
    sector so far this afternoon, but it is forecast to continue eroding
    over the next few hours as cooler mid-level temperatures and ascent
    associated with a shortwave trough over the southern/central Plains
    overspread this region. As this process occurs, storms should
    strengthen across parts of western into central and northern AR.
    Tornadoes will be possible with any supercell that can develop and
    be sustained. A strong tornado appears possible as effective SRH
    increases into the 250-350+ m2/s2 range, especially by early
    evening. Isolated large hail may also occur given the mainly
    discrete storm mode, degree of instability, and modestly steepened
    mid-level lapse rates.

    Areas affected...Southeast Ohio...West Virginia

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 48...

    Valid 272334Z - 280130Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 48 continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe threat will shift east across ww048 into western
    West Virginia over the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...Well-defined short-wave trough is ejecting east across
    OH early this evening. Associated surface front has surged to near
    ZZV-UNI-HTS, and will soon advance east of the current watch.
    Several robust supercells are noted ahead of the front from central
    portions of ww048, extending into southwest portions of WV. This
    activity appears to have progressed beyond the axis of greatest
    buoyancy, and further eastward movement should result in gradual
    weakening where surface dew points are in the upper 40s/lower 50s.
    However, given the strength of the short-wave trough, a few strong
    storms may advance beyond the eastern edge of ww048 before weakening significantly. Some consideration for a local extension may
    warranted across portions of central WV to account for this threat.

    Areas affected...extreme southeast Alabama...western Florida
    Panhandle...and far southwest Georgia

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

    Valid 090722Z - 091115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms could gradually intensify through early morning,
    with a conditional threat of a tornado or a few damaging gusts. The
    area is currently under observation.

    DISCUSSION...A slow-moving front currently extends from near the MS
    Coast into southeast AL, reinforced by convective outflow.
    Thunderstorms persist along this boundary, with periodic stronger
    cores.

    The air mass at the surface remains very moist with dewpoints above
    70 F over much of the area, the exception being the eastern FL
    Panhandle and southwest GA, just east of the low-level theta-e plume
    and surface trough. Subtle environmental changes are expected
    through morning, and may result in an increase in severe potential, specifically, the threat for a tornado or localized damaging winds.

    First, indications are that a deeper moist plume over the northern
    Gulf may aid destabilization and moistening. While surface
    temperature may not rise, slightly better quality moisture is
    expected 1-2 km off the surface. Second, midlevel cooling with the
    upper trough will persist with 1-2 C temperature drops at 500 mb
    through 12Z. All the while, low-level shear will remain favorable
    for a brief tornado risk with 0-1 SRH of at least 200 m2/s2.

    As such, a conditional risk of isolated severe storms may
    materialize later this morning, and convective trends are being
    monitored along the front. Any substantive strengthening of the
    storms could yield watch potential.
