MD 0877 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ARKANSAS

Mesoscale Discussion 0877
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0355 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024

Areas affected…Parts of central and northern Arkansas

Concerning…Severe potential…Watch possible

Valid 212055Z – 212300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance…40 percent

SUMMARY…Large hail and isolated damaging winds are possible with
elevated thunderstorms moving into west-central/north-central
Arkansas. The need for a watch in the short term is uncertain.

DISCUSSION…Elevated thunderstorms have had a recent increase in
intensity. While the environment ahead of this activity continues to
destabilize slowly, it is not clear whether this activity will be
able to become surface based in the near future. Strong effective
shear and sufficient buoyancy will promote some risk of large hail
as well as isolated strong/damaging winds. Convective trends will
continue to be monitored as the need for a watch is not certain in
the short term.
