AREAS AFFECTED...SRN AR...WRN MS...NRN LA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY

VALID 272253Z - 280030Z

THE SEVERE THREAT WILL INCREASE ACROSS SRN AR...NRN LA AND WRN MS
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY
IN COVERAGE WEST OF THE MCD AREA AND BEGIN TO AFFECT NRN LA AND SRN
AR EARLY THIS EVENING. TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE WILL
BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. A TORNADO WATCH WILL LIKELY BE
NEEDED ACROSS THE MCD AREA EARLY THIS EVENING.

LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A SFC LOW NEAR THE RED RIVER IN FAR NE
TX/FAR SE OK WITH A DIFFUSE QUASI-STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY
EXTENDING EWD ACROSS SRN AR. SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY...DEWPOINTS ARE
IN THE MID 60S F WITH AN AXIS OF MODERATE INSTABILITY EXTENDING SWD
ACROSS MUCH OF LA. THIS ENVIRONMENT ALONG WITH STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR
PROFILES EVIDENT ON REGIONAL WSR-88 VWPS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR
STRONG UPDRAFTS WITH LARGE HAIL POTENTIAL. STORMS SHOULD INITIATE
AND INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS A VORTICITY MAX ANALYZED BY THE RUC IN
NE TX MOVES INTO SRN AR. IN ADDITION...LOW-LEVEL SHEAR WILL INCREASE
AS A LOW-LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS AND DRIFTS EWD INTO THE MCD AREA
EARLY THIS EVENING MAKING CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS AND
TORNADOES. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG TORNADO WITH ANY
SUPERCELL THAN TRACKS EWD ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND IS NEAR THE
DEEPENING SFC LOW. THE WIND DAMAGE SHOULD ALSO ACCOMPANY THE
STRONGER CELLS ESPECIALLY WITH ORGANIZED FAST-MOVING LINE SEGMENTS.

SG, your area - yellow boxes are severe thunderstorm warnings..

[southerngale]

^^^ That one is headed here.

"NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GOLF BALL SIZE HAIL...AND
DESTRUCTIVE WINDS IN EXCESS OF 80 MPH."

Geesh.


Edit: thanks, ai9d. We were posting at the same time. Yeah, I'm in the warning now. If I could find a map to mark, I'd show you where I am. Basically, I'm between Beaumont and Sour Lake, along Hwy. 105, near the Jefferson/Hardin County line.

[CrazyC83]

If warnings start to come too fast, we could limit them to the stronger-worded warnings, those involving larger population centers and those involving our members.

[brunota2003]

brunota2003, you don't work for the NWS office there, correct?

Nope, I'm in the Army...but I am a Skywarn Spotter for Newport/Morehead City, NC...and I do know forecasters in both offices in Newport and the one in Raleigh.

Well it depends on how well we can keep up with the warnings really I suppose.

Anyway does look like this is becoming a very active eveing like what was feared by some, huge amounts of instablity seem to be present to be tapped into by some of the storms.

[Bunkertor]

I´ve got that certain feeling, there will be lots of traffic next time.
