The need for watch issuance is uncertain at this time. DISCUSSION...Widespread convection is ongoing this evening from northeast AR/northwest TN into western KY. While widespread rainfall is limiting destabilization (MLCAPE generally 500 J/kg or less), favorable wind profiles (as noted on the KLZK and KNQA VWPs) are supporting the potential for organized convection, and some low/midlevel rotation has been noted with the stronger embedded convective elements from extreme northeast AR into the MO Bootheel.=20 With a southerly low-level jet expected to intensify through the evening, some threat for locally damaging gusts and/or a brief tornado or two may evolve with any stronger bowing segments or embedded supercells. However, limited instability and a tendency for destructive storm interference may tend to limit the magnitude of the severe threat, making the need for short-term watch issuance uncertain. Additional rounds of potentially organized convection may impact the same area late tonight, as upstream storms eventually move into the region in advance of a cold front. ...Dean/Thompson.. 01/03/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-186sKuHGb702FlkpCI849wNGZrtI5PbelBjKjmFzFUE9h2HO-ae75KeCQXD2Fsq7G1JrAr5S= s5vNe9eKPiXVFuwqT0$ for graphic product...
