   0821 PM CDT Mon May 25 2020

   Areas affected...Far Northeast Oklahoma...Northwest Arkansas...Far
   Southwest Missouri

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 226...

   Valid 260121Z - 260315Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 226 continues.

   SUMMARY...An isolated tornado and wind damage threat will likely
   continue for a few more hours. The storms will move northward toward
   the edge of WW 226. Although weather watch issuance is not
   anticipated to the north the current watch, the situation will
   continue to be monitored.

   DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a band of strong
   thunderstorms located from far northeast Oklahoma extending
   southeastward to near Fayettville, Arkansas. Isolated discrete cells
   are ongoing to the north of the line with one having a history of
   producing tornadoes just to the west of the
   Arkansas-Missouri-Oklahoma state line intersection. The RAP
   continues to show moderate deep-layer shear across northeast
   Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas with 0-3 km storm relative
   helicities estimated in the 200 to 250 m2/s2 range. The wind profile
   continues to support a tornado threat with small supercells that
   develop to the northeast of the northwest-to-southeast band of
   storms. A wind damage threat will also be possible with supercells
   and with this band as well.
