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.
