Valid 022039Z - 022215Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 1 continues. SUMMARY...An increasingly favorable corridor for tornadoes is developing across portions of Tornado Watch 01 over parts of the Arklatex this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Latest radar data from KPOE/KSHV shows a large cluster of showers and thunderstorms with organized embedded updrafts/mesocyclones tracking northward from southeast TX/west-central LA this afternoon. Ahead of this activity, a moist/unstable airmass characterized by upper 60s/lower 70s boundary-layer dewpoints beneath steep midlevel lapse rates (sampled by 18Z SHV sounding) are in place. Minimal convective inhibition coupled with the favorable surface-based instability across this portion of the warm sector should support the northward spread of these showers and thunderstorms during the next couple hours. And, favorable/increasing low-level hodograph curvature (150-200 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH) per SHV VWP data should support a few discrete or semi-discrete supercells capable of producing tornadoes (some possibly strong but mostly brief) and damaging gusts. ...Weinman.. 01/02/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8yIMbUQNyFud4ajRHurBfZrZzATXFD6nik0Qbt1bd3B3MaS6uGk_mbpRv3PCiyXr6FPVaytVg= tZVEQyzwg0_sP3fbk0$ for graphic product...
