    Areas affected...South-central Arkansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 150230Z - 150430Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Supercell development across south-central Arkansas
    appears probable in the coming hours as a dryline shifts east. Watch
    issuance will likely be needed in this region to address this
    threat.

    DISCUSSION...KLZK and GOES IR imagery show thunderstorm development
    southward along a dryline from the Hot Spring, AR region southward
    towards Texarkana. 02 UTC upper air analyses suggest that low to
    mid-level winds are not quite as strong compared to northern AR;
    however, a strengthening low-level jet sampled by KLZK and KSHV VWPs
    is supporting 0-1 km SRH on the order of 200-300 m2/s2. Improving
    low-level kinematics combined with slightly better surface
    moisture/MLCAPE is yielding STP values on the order of 2-4, which
    implies a robust tornado environment is in place downstream of the
    developing convection. Discrete to semi-discrete supercells
    migrating into this air mass may be capable of very large hail (1.5
    to 2.0 inches in diameter) and potentially significant (EF-2+)
    tornadoes. Watch issuance will likely be needed in the near term to
    address this potential.
