Large hail and isolated damaging winds are the primary threats. A watch may be needed should convective trends warrant. DISCUSSION...Objective mesoanalysis shows increasing boundary-layer destabilization from east-central Arkansas into northern Mississippi. As clouds have dissipated through the day, low-levels have recovered to some degree. Visible satellite indicates increasing cumulus across central Mississippi. Closer to the upper-level trough in Arkansas, additional convection has also recently developed. Shear should increase as the upper trough moves east. Effective shear of 45-60 kts will favor organized storms. Long hodographs and cold mid-level temperatures (around -14 to -17 C) suggest large hail potential. Damaging wind gusts may also occur, but low-level lapse rates should keep that threat more isolated. The highest confidence in storm development/persistence will be near the shortwave trough. It is less certain how many storms will form in central/northern Mississippi, but those storms would have more potential for large hail. Trends will be monitored for a possible watch. ...Wendt/Hart.. 04/27/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4QpoEAwlOk19hayBNCSQPguThdcEq_Oy2ZCLcqZShnlHWcmPc7hCbCm53jV2iTilbva0yap2r= BPo-F7caC_6BlgdVmc$ for graphic product...
