Areas affected...Mid-Mississippi Valley

Concerning...Tornado Watch 621...

Valid 100213Z - 100415Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 621 continues.

SUMMARY...Thunderstorms moving into northeast Arkansas will
eventually migrate into the mid-Mississippi Valley heading into the
late evening hours. These storms will pose a risk for
severe/damaging winds and perhaps a tornado or two. A downstream
watch will likely be needed.

DISCUSSION...A supercell embedded within the leading edge of a line
of storms continues to propagate to the east/southeast into
northeast AR. This supercell has shown signs of gradual transition a
more organized linear mode (some signs of an organized gust front
are noted in KNQA imagery), but this evolution has been gradual. A
strengthening low-level jet will bolster warm air advection over a
residual baroclinic zone that is draped from northeast AR to
northern MS/AL. The expectation over the next few hours is for this
cell to continue to grow upscale amid increasing lift along the
frontal zone, propagating to the southeast into the mid-MS River
Valley. VWP observations at KNQA sampled 50-60 knot mid-level flow
as well as 0-1 km SRH near 350 m2/s2 within the warm advection
regime. This kinematic environment will continue to support storm
organization for the next several hours with an attendant risk of
severe winds and perhaps a tornado or two - though the tornado
threat will likely be conditional on the development of a more
organized MCS, which remains uncertain. Regardless, a downstream
watch will likely be needed to address this concern.
