   .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.
