Areas affected...central Arkansas...far northwestern
Mississippi...and far Southeastern Tennessee

Concerning...Tornado Watch 94...

Valid 312334Z - 010030Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 94 continues.

SUMMARY...Tornado threat increasing over the next few hours.

DISCUSSION...Two discrete supercells across east central Arkansas
near the Mississippi and Tennessee borders have shown signs of
better organization over the last hour. The southern of the two
cells has a history of large hail up to 1.75". These supercells are
tracking northeastward rapidly around 40-50 mph into a very
favorable environment near and south of the Memphis metro. The VAD
profile from KNQA (Memphis, Tennessee) shows observed 0-1km SRH
around 530 m2/s2. 0-3 km SRH is observed at around 700 m2/s2. In
addition, surface objective analysis shows SBCAPE around 1000-1500
J/kg, with the area near and just south of the Memphis area largely
undisturbed from earlier storms across the northern edge. This
environment continues to support long-track supercells with
potential for strong tornadoes. As these cells continue a
northeastward track they are expected to maintain intensity, given
their discrete nature and downstream favorable environment. The
tornado potential will increase across east Central Arkansas into
eastern Tennessee and far northwestern Mississippi over the next few
hours.
