   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 290...

   Valid 230024Z - 230230Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 290
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A threat for wind damage and large hail will likely
   continue for a few more hours across parts of the Ark-La-Tex.

   DISCUSSION...Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are ongoing
   from northeast Texas eastward into southwestern Arkansas and
   northern Louisiana. These storms are located on the northern edge of
   a strongly unstable airmass. Forecast soundings in the Ark-La-Tex
   from the RAP have MLCAPE near 3000 J/kg, with 0-6 km shear around 50
   knots, and 700-500 mb lapse rates near 7.5 C/km. This should support
   supercell development, with a potential for large hail and wind
   damage. Damaging wind gusts will also be possible with the more
   intense line segments. This threat is expected to persist for a few
   more hours, but could become more isolated as instability begins to
   decrease across the Ark-La-Tex during the mid to late evening.
