Watch issuance is possible to address this concern. DISCUSSION...Gradual organization and intensification of an organized line of storms has been apparent over the past hour in KSRX/KLZK and GOES IR imagery. This convection is displaced well into the cool air to the north of a stalled outflow boundary, and storm motions to the northeast suggest that this activity will remain in the cool air mass despite a gradual northward advance of the boundary this afternoon. Given the widespread cloud cover and muted diurnal warming, buoyancy is expected to remain somewhat limited; however, strong lift ahead of a deepening cyclone and approximately 60 knots of effective bulk shear will compensate for the meager buoyancy in the near term and maintain, if not intensify, the ongoing line of convection. The potential for convection rooted in the boundary layer may increase as temperatures (dewpoints) slowly warm into the mid (low) 60s across northeast AR, which should support an increasing damaging wind threat through the late afternoon/early evening. ...Moore/Guyer.. 03/24/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7ZpYZBnWtVzE8anF0CWSATvm5rLEyzAj_T5fpKEd8-PC_z1ajnpdg5mUVuQYzoB_hM8fVilIU= Vfn_qiW6YbVVxMANC8$ for graphic product...
