Areas affected...Far Northeast Texas...Far Southeast
Oklahoma...Southern Arkansas

Concerning...Tornado Watch 45...46...

Valid 150430Z - 150500Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 45, 46 continues.

SUMMARY...The severe threat across southern Arkansas and the
Ark-La-Tex is expected to continue to decrease over the next hour,
and the ongoing watches will be allowed to expire at 05Z.

DISCUSSION...An MCS is currently located from far northeast Texas
extending east-northeastward across western and central Arkansas.
The RAP suggests that instability has markedly decreased along the
southern edge of the MCS over the last hour. This trend will
continue, and the severe threat is expected to gradually diminish.
For this reason, the ongoing watches will be allowed to expire at
05Z. It still remains possible that the severe threat could
re-develop across parts of the region, but this would be later
tonight.
