Areas affected...Southeast Missouri...Arkansas

Concerning...Tornado Watch 43...45...

Valid 142231Z - 150030Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 43, 45 continues.

SUMMARY...A severe threat will continue across southeast Missouri
and Arkansas. Wind damage, large hail and an isolated tornado threat
is expected over the next few hours.

DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar from Springfield,
Missouri shows a well-developed line segment extending southward
across south-central Missouri and north-central Arkansas. An intense
bowing segment is located at the northern end of the line across
Dent, Shannon, and Howell Counties. This feature will move eastward
across southeastern Missouri over the next hour. The forward speed
of the bow was measured at 47 knots, suggesting that wind damage
will be likely along the leading edge. Further south into northern
and western Arkansas, a cluster of strong to severe storms is
ongoing. As convective coverage increases over the next hour,
organization into a line will be possible. If a cold pool can
develop, another bowing segment with wind damage potential would be
possible. Large hail, and an isolated tornado threat may also
develop with discrete storms that obtain supercell structure, and
along the leading edge of any organized bow.
