Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 385...

Valid 032336Z - 040130Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 385
continues.

SUMMARY...An isolated wind-damage and hail threat will be possible
with the stronger cells embedded in and ahead of a line segment from
northeast Texas into southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana.
Additional weather watch issuance remains uncertain.

DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows a linear MCS that
is moving southeast at about 35 knots across the Ark-La-Tex. A
pocket of strong instability is present ahead of the line, where
surface dewpoints are in the 70s F and MLCAPE is estimated in the
2500 to 3500 J/kg range. The instability, along with strong
large-scale ascent associated with a vorticity maxima and low-level
convergence, will support the linear MCS for several more hours as
it moves southeastward into the lower Mississippi Valley. The
WSR-88D VWP at Shreveport has 0-6 km shear near 40 knots with
directional shear in the lowest 2 km. This environment will continue
to support an isolated wind-damage threat with the stronger segments
along the leading edge of the line. Cells that form ahead of the
line could also have a hail threat.
