AREAS AFFECTED...ERN MO / WRN-SWRN IL / WRN KY / NERN AR / NWRN TN

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 142...143...

VALID 152032Z - 152130Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 142...143...CONTINUES.

BROKEN LINE OF QUASI-DISCRETE STORMS WILL LIKELY MATURE/INTENSIFY
INVOF THE MS RIVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE AIRMASS CONTINUES TO
DESTABILIZE DOWNSTREAM OF ONGOING STRONG/SEVERE STORMS LOCATED NEAR
OR W OF THE MS RIVER.

20Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A RELATIVELY NARROW PLUME OF RICHER LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE /CHARACTERIZED BY UPPER 50S DEWPOINTS/ ADVECTING NWD
OVER THE MS RIVER VALLEY FROM NERN AR/WRN TN NWD TOWARDS THE I-70
CORRIDOR NEAR STL. AMPLE SUNSHINE E OF THE BROKEN LINE IS
CONTRIBUTING A PRONOUNCED THETA-E AXIS GENERALLY ALIGNING NNW-SSE
FROM W-CNTRL IL SSEWD TO THE OH/MS RIVER CONFLUENCE AND S ALONG THE
MS RIVER.

AS THE UPPER SYSTEM CONTINUES TO APPROACH THE AREA...COLD TEMPS
ALOFT /-20 TO -22 C AT H5/ SHOULD FOSTER HAIL GROWTH WITH THE MORE
ROBUST UPDRAFTS. STRONG LOW LEVEL SPEED/DIRECTIONAL SHEAR ON RUC
FORECAST SOUNDINGS /200-300 M2/S2 EFFECTIVE SRH/ WILL PROBABLY ACT
TO FOSTER LOW LEVEL ROTATION AS STORMS CONTINUE EWD TOWARDS THE
INSTABILITY AXIS. THIS IS WHERE THE SEVERE RISK /INCLUDING TORNADO/
APPEARS GREATEST IN OVER THE NEXT 1-3 HRS AS STORMS ENCOUNTER THE
STRONGER INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR.

RELATIVELY MAXIMIZED. BOTH REGIMES MAY SUPPORT CORRIDORS OF LOCALLY
ENHANCED TORNADO POTENTIAL...WITH EFFECTIVE SRH REACHING 500 J/KG.

We just had a doozy blow through Baton Rouge. Hailed for about 10 minutes and then got so bad that we had to jump into the bathroom. It was hailing lightly then it just went crazy with wind. Leaves and limbs were everywhere and the hail just dropped like crazy. That lasted about 20-30 seconds and it finally calmed down. It was honestly scary but something else. I wish I could have seen it when it was really bad but it did not feel safe, at all, so we went into the bathroom. I got some video before it went crazy and will post soon.

SEVERE/ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT CONTINUES ACROSS VALID PORTIONS OF WW

DEVELOPING/ACQUIRING ROTATION BEFORE MERGING WITH THE ORGANIZING

HOWEVER...WEAK -- BUT MARGINALLY-SUFFICIENT -- INSTABILITY EXTENDS
