Sporadic gusty winds and small hail will be the primary threats. DISCUSSION...Convective development is underway in portions of the Ark-La-Tex region eastward through northern AL and MS. These updrafts are forming along and to the south of a weak cold front with temperatures generally in the low 90s F and dewpoints in the 70s F. Boundary-layer mixing beneath mostly clear skies has yielded an uncapped airmass characterized by around 2500+ J/kg MLCAPE and effective shear around 15-20 kts. Convective development thus far is consistent with environmental expectations, including locally stronger updraft pulses with reflectivity cores extending to around 40000+ ft (e.g., Lawrence County cell in northern AL). The overall environment will remain mostly steady for the next few hours as the weak cold front becomes quasi-stationary beneath modest, zonal flow aloft. As such, continued scattered thunderstorm development is expected with sporadic damaging wind gusts and small hail being the primary threats with stronger local updraft pulses. ...Flournoy/Grams.. 07/03/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7E8-yBEsjGgKcrOpg2BuU5QrzYFnSm7Y6Og7GdpEyoDVlEC-Vwo6Lq6_xB663hmVr8lRVXBPY= G6Rq5ewj_Z711h_X70$ for graphic product...
