Convective trends will be monitored for potential watch issuance. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm cluster in the FSM vicinity has trended towards more forward propagation over the past hour or so. The warm-air advection helping to support this elevated cluster is forecast to continue weakening over the next few hours. Given that this cluster is north of the stronger buoyancy, there is some uncertainty regarding how this weakening will impact the ongoing cluster. That being said, the downstream airmass is destabilizing amid a combination of low-level moisture recovery and daytime heating. Additionally, this cluster is on the leading edge of a shortwave trough and associated speed max rounding the ridge extending up through the southern High Plains. As a result, despite weakening low-level flow, the combination of large-scale lift and downstream destabilization is expected to support the persistence, and perhaps intensification, of this cluster. If intensification is realized, a threat for damaging gusts and isolated large hail may exist over central and southern AR this afternoon. Convective trends will be monitored for potential watch issuance. ...Mosier/Hart.. 06/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6bvQO5OONJRdkyOajX22VVbM-Ib_6AXK2iioDTOV4iKNqWuoBiW7E0EA48rIaG4-n8iwA-yX8= A5cz4eIy8uYcz2Qicw$ for graphic product...
