   Mesoscale Discussion 0370
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0756 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020

   Areas affected...Much of Arkansas...western Tennessee...northwestern
   Mississippi...northern Louisiana...and northeastern Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 111...

   Valid 130056Z - 130300Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 111
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Damaging wind and hail will likely continue for the next
   couple hours across remaining portions of WW 111 and WW 108.  A
   downstream WW will be considered pending convective trends.

   DISCUSSION...Storms with a history of damaging wind gusts continue
   with bowing segments/embedded rotation in an extensive linear
   segment moving through central/north-central Arkansas at this time. 
   These storms should affect the Little Rock Metro area over the next
   half hour or so. These storms are moving quickly east-northeastward
   and should reach the eastern extent of WW 111 in Arkansas by around
   0230Z or so.  CAMs suggest that this activity will hold together
   beyond that time frame, with intensity in question as the downstream
   airmass has been overturned from prior convection.  Nevertheless,
   forcing aloft with the vigorous upstream impulse may result in at
   least an isolated severe threat after 230Z in downstream areas.  A
   new Watch may be needed and will be coordinated with downstream
   offices beforehand.

   Farther south, cells/clusters in northern Louisiana and northeast
   Texas have also produced wind damage and hail, and these trends
   should continue through the next couple hours as well.
