AREAS AFFECTED...NE AR...WRN AND MIDDLE TN

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 210940Z - 211115Z

AN ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE THREAT MAY EXIST EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS
NE AR AND WRN TO MIDDLE TN. HOWEVER...THE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN MARGINAL AND NO WW IS ANTICIPATED.

TWO BOWING LINE SEGMENTS ARE CURRENTLY ONGOING FROM ERN AR INTO WRN
TN ALONG THE NERN EDGE OF INSTABILITY EXTENDING NEWD FROM THE
ARKLATEX. THE ACTIVITY IS BEING SUPPORTED BY A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
MOVING APPROACHING THE TN VALLEY. AN ASSOCIATED 45 TO 55 KT
MID-LEVEL JET IS PRESENT JUST UPSTREAM AND IS LIKELY HELPING THE
STORMS TO BE MAINTAINED EARLY THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...THE VERY MOIST
ENVIRONMENT COMBINED WITH SOMEWHAT WEAKER FLOW NEAR THE SFC AND A
RELATIVELY STABLE BOUNDARY LAYER IS LIKELY REDUCING THE POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE DOWNBURSTS IN SPITE OF A 40 KT EWD MOTION. FOR THIS
REASON...ANY WIND DAMAGE THREAT SHOULD REMAIN VERY ISOLATED IF THE
BOWING LINE-SEGMENTS CAN REMAIN SUSTAINED OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
