DISCUSSION...Vigorous convective development continues a general slow south/southwestward propagation, in the presence of weakly sheared light northerly deep-layer mean flow. The most recent flareup southwest through south of Hot Springs has contributed to further strengthening of an associated cold pool, with 2-hourly surface pressure rises in excess of 2 mb noted in 19Z observations at Arkadelphia and a 28 degree F differential in temperature across the cold pool between Arkadelphia and Texarkana. Aided by low-level updraft inflow of seasonably high boundary-layer moisture content characterized by large CAPE, renewed vigorous thunderstorm development is ongoing near/just ahead of the southwestward propagating segment of the outflow across southwestern Arkansas, toward Texarkana, with an expanding area of northward spreading anvil-level precipitation in its wake. As this continues through the next hour or two, it appears possible that north-northeasterly rear inflow may strengthen/descend and pose increasing potential for strong to severe gusts across the Ark-La-Texas vicinity, before the storms encounter more stable updraft inflow and weaken. ...Kerr/Smith.. 07/31/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-7HNK0392qdYKLilbO7Gcr9KJ5P--XHeY2pC4wAwd-nXKzfNgHvDAhsFdYk_szidtFYBgHNRT= jqvLcJAEUwjR0bJH7E$ for graphic product...
