...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...
CORRECTED TO REMOVE SLIGHT RISK IN THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms with potential for all hazards are expected
tonight from eastern Oklahoma and east Texas across the Mid-South
and Mississippi Delta regions, to Alabama. This includes a threat
for a swath of severe wind across the lower Mississippi Valley.
Tornadoes are also possible, especially across the lower Mississippi
Valley. A few severe storms will linger for the next few hours
across northern North Carolina and southeast Virginia.
...01z Update...
Earlier thoughts regarding the general evolution of severe remain;
although, a few modifications will be applied to regions that have
stabilized due to earlier thunderstorm clusters, especially across
portions of southeast AR.
An expansive corridor of thunderstorms has evolved over the lower MS
Valley and currently extends from northern MS-northern LA-eastern
TX. This complex of storms has overturned the air mass across
southeast AR and buoyancy may struggle to appreciate much before the
next cluster digs into this region from OK. For this reason severe
probabilities have been lowered to reflect the rain-cooled boundary
layer.
00z sounding from FWD is impressively unstable with MLCAPE values on
the order of 3500 J/kg. OUN, though not as unstable, exhibits steep
lapse rates in proximity to convection that is evolving along/ahead
of the cold front over eastern OK. Latest radar data suggests this
convection is gradually maturing into a squall line that should
propagate southeast toward the Arklatex, along the southwestern
perimeter of the aforementioned rain-cooled AR bubble. Maturing
linear MCS should eventually catch up to the western flank of the
lower MS Valley complex later tonight, then propagate east toward MS
after midnight.
The potential for all severe hazards remain with this multi-faceted
severe threat tonight.
