VALID 210202Z - 210300Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 893
CONTINUES.

DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF SCATTERED CONVECTION...SEVERE TSTM REPORTS
HAVE YET TO MATERIALIZE INVOF RED RIVER. ALTHOUGH A MARGINAL SEVERE
HAIL EVENT CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT...THE LIKELIHOOD OF A
SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN TSTM INTENSITY IS NOT ANTICIPATED
WITHIN/NEAR WW 893.

BULK OF RECENT TSTM DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN RELEGATED ROUGHLY 100 MILES
N/W OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT THAT STRETCHED FROM NEAR BVX TO 20 W
TXK TO 20 S CRS AS OF 01Z. ONE LONE CELL EXISTS ALONG THE FRONT IN
BOWIE COUNTY TX...WITH DOWNSTREAM STRATIFORM PRECIP SHIELD LIKELY
MITIGATING ADDITIONAL TSTM DEVELOPMENT INTO SWRN AR. ALTHOUGH
EFFECTIVE SHEAR /AROUND 50 KT/ IS CERTAINLY SUFFICIENT FOR ROTATING
UPDRAFTS...RELATIVELY THIN EFFECTIVE CAPE FROM ELEVATED PARCELS /PER
MODIFIED 00Z FWD AND SHV RAOBS/ WITHIN THE WEAKLY FORCED ENVIRONMENT
HAS MITIGATED THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROBUST UPDRAFTS. AS THE MID-LEVEL
JET SHIFTS E/NEWD AWAY FROM THE OZARK PLATEAU...TSTM INTENSITY
APPEARS TO BE AT OR NEAR PEAK.
