.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1016 AM CST Thu Feb 24 2022/
...MO/AR into the OH Valley...
A region of showers and thunderstorms currently over MO/AR is
associated with enhanced low-level warm advection atop a cold
surface air mass. Sufficient elevated CAPE suggests that isolated
lightning flashes may persist through the afternoon and evening as
the activity develops eastward across the OH Valley.
...LA/MS...
A relatively strong surface front currently extends from central LA
northeastward into southern MS. This boundary will lift northward
today, with a moist/unstable air mass spreading northward behind the
warm front. Despite MLCAPE values of 500-800 J/kg, forecast
soundings show a capping inversion around 700mb that will likely
inhibit vigorous convection this afternoon along the front. If an
isolated storm or two can form, a sufficient CAPE/shear combination
is present for a risk of gusty winds or small hail.
