THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 875 CONTINUES.

STRONGEST FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER WAVE IN THE TX PANHANDLE WAS
MOVING EWD THROUGH CENTRAL/NRN AR. DESPITE WEAK INSTABILITY
...MUCAPES FROM 250-500 J/KG...DEEP/LOW LEVEL SHEAR AT 50KT/40 KT
RESPECTIVELY ARE SUPPORTIVE OF ROTATING STORMS/BOWS...WITH WIND
DAMAGE AND EVEN A TORNADO OR TWO EXPECTED AS THE STORMS SHIFT EWD
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

FURTHER SWWD...A COLD FRONT WAS NEAR A DUA-AUS LINE...WITH A
A WEAK E-W ORIENTED FRONT LOCATED IN CENTRAL AR. EAST AND SOUTH OF
THESE FRONTS...TEMPERATURES HAD WARMED INTO THE LOWER/MID
70S...RESULTING IN STRONGER INSTABILITY...MUCAPES AROUND 1500 J/KG.
CONVECTION HAS INCREASED IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY DURING THE PAST
HOUR AS THE AIR MASS HAS DESTABILIZED. WITH ADDITIONAL HEATING AND
DEEP LAYER SHEAR AT 40-50 KT...A FEW SUPERCELLS ARE LIKELY TO EVOLVE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE STRONG WIND FIELDS SUGGEST WIND DAMAGE
SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT...THOUGH 20-30 KT LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND A
MOIST ENVIRONMENT WILL ALSO SUPPORT TORNADOES.
