WW IS BEING CONSIDERED FOR FAR NERN TX INTO NRN LA/SRN AR AND PARTS
OF WRN/CENTRAL MS.

EARLY EVENING SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY EXTENDING
FROM CENTRAL MS WWD THROUGH FAR SRN AR INTO OK. MOIST AIR MASS
ALONG AND S OF THIS BOUNDARY COMBINED WITH STRONG HEATING HAS
RESULTED IN MODERATE INSTABILITY GRADIENT ACROSS THIS REGION.
INCREASING ASCENT AHEAD OF SRN HIGH PLAINS SHORT WAVE TROUGH AND
LIFT WITHIN 80+ KT WLY MID LEVEL JET TRANSLATING EWD INTO NERN TX/
SRN AR/NRN LA BY LATE THIS EVENING WILL FURTHER ENHANCE UPDRAFT
POTENTIAL. STRONG EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR...MODERATE INSTABILITY AND
STEEP LAPSE RATES /7-8.5 C/KM/ WILL SUPPORT ORGANIZED ROTATING
UPDRAFTS WITH HAIL AND STRONG WINDS. TORNADO THREAT MAY ALSO EXIST
ACROSS THIS REGION GIVEN ENHANCED LOW LEVEL SHEAR ALONG SURFACE
BOUNDARY AND SSWLY LOW LEVEL FLOW.
