A watch is likely. DISCUSSION...An earlier supercell cluster with a history of producing large hail and severe winds gusts is tracking eastward along a warm front draped across northern Arkansas. While this storm is generally right on the boundary, it appears to have access to moderately unstable surface-based air to its immediate south. Low/midlevel warm advection is contributing to upscale growth, and around 50 kt of 0-6 km shear (per nearby VWP) will favor continued organization/upscale growth into an MCS -- with an attendant risk of severe wind gusts and sporadic large hail. A watch is likely for parts of the area. ...Weinman/Gleason.. 05/18/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!83PovGLPqoJAQ2NHo7qKTyBZxrLWt17vFMKLF4wh3lQyQIwHzydcS5JoP_xTLmcvMs3AqXqmP= 2qjI4Zd9l9k1IWvhqg$ for graphic product...
