Watch issuance unlikely. DISCUSSION...A broken line of elevated thunderstorms continues to move northeastward across portions of far northeastern Oklahoma and northern Arkansas into far southeastern Kansas and southern Missouri. A few cells have posed a brief severe hail risk. Storms are generally located along a gradient of MUCAPE around 500-1000 J/kg. Objective analysis shows instability slowly increasing to the north in the last hour. Sounding analysis from RAP forecast soundings across northeastern Oklahoma and northern Arkansas reveal a stable ground layer with instability aloft largely located above 850 mb. VAD profiles from INX and SGX show favorable deep layer shear around 70 kts. Given the shear and thermodynamic profiles, these storms will likely remain elevated, supporting a risk of severe hail up to 1-1.5 inch before moving into a cooler and drier air mass to the north. As such, watch issuance is unlikely needed. ...Thornton/Thompson.. 03/02/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8GUYmnlHNN_kSL6xm6ll5rkETxmQOD44axhb6Xum02kBpGmQMrm7cddlJQdRhLoo8_SLMp6kg= Z-uuzw7GiLSBtEhgyw$ for graphic product...
