CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 923...

VALID 312226Z - 312330Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 923
CONTINUES.

A MARGINAL SEVERE THREAT MAY DEVELOP EARLY THIS EVENING IF SFC-BASED
THUNDERSTORMS CAN INITIATE. HOWEVER...THIS SCENARIO IS BECOMING
INCREASINGLY UNLIKELY AS SFC TEMPS COOL.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A POSITIVELY TILTED SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER
THE OZARKS. THE RUC SUGGESTS LARGE-SCALE ASCENT AHEAD OF THIS
SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS QUITE FOCUSED AND MOVING SEWD OVER A MOIST AXIS
ORIENTED SSW TO NNE FROM SE OK INTO SCNTRL MO. THIS IS SUPPORTING
WEAKLY ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS IN CNTRL AND NRN OK ATTM. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS IN WCNTRL AR EARLY THIS EVENING SUGGEST THE CAPPING
INVERSION WILL WEAKEN AND SFC-BASED STORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE...HOWEVER
WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING THIS APPEARS LESS LIKELY. MODERATE
VERTICAL SHEAR EVIDENT ON THE TULSA AND TEXARKANA PROFILERS AND 500
MB TEMPS AROUND -16C WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR HAIL IF SFC-BASED STORMS
CAN INITIATE.
