   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
   THE ARKLATEX AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms capable of producing
   marginally severe hail and gusty winds may affect parts of Arkansas,
   northern Louisiana and vicinity this afternoon into the early
   evening.

   ...20Z Update...
   A Marginal Risk for hail/wind has been added across parts of AR,
   northern LA, and vicinity. With strong mid-level westerlies and
   related deep-layer shear noted on recent VWPs from KLZK/KNQA, storms
   capable of producing marginally severe hail and gusty winds may
   occur through the remainder of the afternoon and into the early
   evening across this region ahead of a cold front. The rather limited
   thermodynamic environment is still expected to generally inhibit a
   greater risk for organized severe storms. See Mesoscale Discussion
   1948 for more details on the short-term severe threat for this area.

   ..Gleason.. 11/21/2021

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1031 AM CST Sun Nov 21 2021/

   ...Portions of Arkansas/ArkLaMiss...
   Coincident with a broadly cyclonic upper-level flow regime,
   thunderstorms should increase in coverage through the afternoon near
   and ahead of a southeastward-moving cold front. A couple of stronger
   storms could materialize mainly late this afternoon/early evening
   with the possibility of small hail and/or gusty winds. However,
   persistent cloud cover and related weak lapse rates and minimal
   buoyancy (only a few hundred J/kg CAPE) are expected to limit the
   potential for organized/sustained severe storms.
