Valid 242339Z - 250115Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 76 continues. SUMMARY...Supercells should intensify during the next hour or so, with a corresponding increase in tornado potential. DISCUSSION...A favorable corridor for supercell intensification is evolving over portions of northeastern LA, southeast AR, and west-central MS this afternoon/early evening. Here, boundary-layer moisture is increasing (middle/upper 60s dewpoints) amid substantial surface pressure falls beneath a strengthening low-level jet (around 50 kt at 850 mb per DGX VWP). The corresponding DGX VWP hodograph has increased in both size and clockwise curvature during the last few hours, with nearly 200 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH sampled at DGX. As the low-level jet strengthens further, hodographs should only get larger along/south of an east/west-oriented marine front shifting northward. Current thinking is that a few supercell clusters near the MS river will intensify as they track northeastward into this increasingly favorable environment during the next hour or so, with a corresponding increase in tornado potential (some strong to intense). ...Weinman.. 03/24/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!84EEFnYUdh2b23-ZJ9cR2xamAMc_LkzPyybZNmeNzx2EL_kYAfcHXjwTQWxOye0LNjuAPV7j9= RWweDPEMR08MAPNfEE$ for graphic product...
