Valid 211443Z - 211645Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 533 continues. SUMMARY...Some threat for isolated damaging wind may continue through the morning, though the need for additional watches in the short term is uncertain. DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms is moving across northwest AR at 1430 UTC, in advance of a well-defined MCV moving across northeast OK. While this convection has largely maintained its intensity over the last 1-2 hours, there has been little indication of recent severe gusts. The downstream environment into north-central AR is currently less unstable, but some diurnal heating/destabilization may allow the line to continue eastward through the morning, with some potential for isolated damaging wind. Unless there is an uptick in organization/intensity over the next 15-30 minutes, WW 533 may be allowed to expire at 15 UTC.=20 Farther south, a couple of stronger storm clusters have flared up across west-central AR; one that is now moving southeast of Little Rock, and another on the southern periphery of the northern line, to the west of Little Rock. MLCAPE in excess of 3000 J/kg was observed on the 12Z LZK sounding, and these storm clusters will tend to propagate southeastward into a similarly unstable environment, with some continued heating/destabilization possible downstream. Deep-layer shear is not particularly strong, but the favorable thermodynamic environment may support some damaging wind threat spreading into south-central/southeast AR with time. Coverage of the severe threat remains uncertain in this area, but watch issuance is possible if a further uptick in storm coverage/intensity is observed. ...Dean/Hart.. 07/21/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7k4JnlzdBb5gUhSZsW6JbzNcZxCIg0SPSBrG-O4bnZX87uon_N46dbZ9-JeFTdR9ZalL7tmRt= Y_7Ra3H3x7QlAehR4g$ for graphic product...
