HGX AFD snip

ONSHORE FLOW WILL BEGIN WED AFTN AS THE NEXT SYSTEM ORGANIZES OVER
THE ROCKIES/SRN PLAINS. INITIAL MOISTURE RETURN WILL BE IN THE
MID LEVELS SO THINK WE WILL STILL SEE A DECENT AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE.
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RETURN RAPIDLY TO THE AREA WED NIGHT AS
40-50 KT LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS. GFS FORECASTS PWS TO INCREASE TO
1.1-1.3 INCHES BY 12Z THURSDAY AREAWIDE. EXPECTING LOW CLOUDS TO
FILL IN WED EVENING WITH SHOWER(S) DEVELOPING DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. DIFFLUENCE ALOFT INCREASES LATE WED NIGHT AS SE TX GOES
INTO THE RIGHT REAR QUAD OF A 120 KT JET MAX. APPROACHING TROUGH
IS COLDER/ FURTHER SOUTH THAN TODAY`S SYSTEM...AND CAPPING SHOULD
BE MUCH LESS OF AN ISSUE. WILL SEE LINE OF CONVECTION TO ORGANIZE
JUST WEST OF THE AREA LATE WED NIGHT AND CROSS CWA 12-18Z
THURSDAY. GFS CONTINUES TO BE QUITE AGGRESSIVE PUSHING 60+ SFC
DEWPOINTS NORTH INTO THE SRN CWA EARLY THURSDAY...WITH BOUNDARY
LAYER LIS DROPPING TO -2 TO -6. WET BULB ZEROES DROP AS LOW AS
8KFT INDICATING AT LEAST A THREAT OF HAIL WITH THE STRONGEST
STORMS. WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF STRONG/POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS THU
MORNING IN THE HWO. FRONT WILL SWEEP QUICKLY ACROSS CWA LATE
MORNING THU AND SHOULD BE OUT OF THE AREA 18-20Z.

Snip from NWS LCH

SPC HAS OUR AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG
WITH MUCH OF THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. OF NOTE IS A STRONG JET MAX
IN THE POLAR STREAM IN PHASE WITH MOISTURE OVER OUR AREA WHICH IS
IN THE RIGHT REAR OR ENTRANCE REGION. GOOD SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL
INFLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT POINTS TO EARLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS
THE MOST FAVORABLE TIME FOR SEVERE ACTIVITY...MAX HEATING TIME.
IF YOUR OPERATIONS ARE IMPACTED BY THIS...ADVISE ALL HANDS ON DECK.
USE THIS AND FURTHER UPDATED STATEMENTS TO KEEP ABREAST.
REMEMBER...THOSE WHO FAIL TO PLAN...PLAN TO FAIL. WE WILL PROBABLY
BEGIN ISSUING STATEMENT ON THURSDAY`S WEATHER AFTER WE GET DONE
WITH TODAY`S.

[Ed Mahmoud]

I think 57 mph makes it an official severe t-storm...

[HarlequinBoy]

Interestingly, the winds are pretty intense outside of the storms.

Little Rock AFB has had a 61 mph non-thunderstorm related gust.

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 24...

VALID 292156Z - 292300Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 24 CONTINUES.

THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WITHIN WW THROUGH 23Z WILL BE
LOCATED ACROSS FAR SERN MO...EXTREME WRN KY AND SRN IL. WIND DAMAGE
IS THE MOST LIKELY THREAT...THOUGH BRIEF TORNADOES ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE.

STORMS HAVE RECENTLY INCREASE ALONG A COLD FRONT FROM NEAR SLO SWWD
TO EAST OF POF. THESE STORMS HAD DEVELOPED IN A REGION WHERE
SUNNY SKIES HAD WARMED TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID 60S. ALSO...DEEP
LAYER ASCENT WAS INCREASING AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVED ENEWD
THROUGH CENTRAL MO. DESPITE WEAK INSTABILITY...MUCAPES AROUND 250
J/KG...DEEP LAYER SHEAR AT 50-60 KT REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR
SUPERCELLS. THIS ENVIRONMENT WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE STORMS THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THE LINEAR NATURE OF THE STORMS AND INTENSE
PRESSURE RISES ARE SUGGESTIVE OF WIND DAMAGE. HOWEVER...1KM SHEAR
NEAR 30 KT ALSO FAVORS A TORNADO THREAT.
