Areas affected...The Texarkana region into western Arkansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 041926Z - 042130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...The severe/tornado threat appears to be gradually
increasing from the Texarkana region into western Arkansas. Watch
issuance is expected for western AR, but timing remains uncertain
due to questions regarding short-term storm coverage across the
Texarkana region.

DISCUSSION...Radar imagery out of KFSM and KSHV has shown a few
deeper/more robust thunderstorms beginning to develop with transient
mid to low-level mesocyclones across the Texarkana region and across
parts of western AR. Stable billow clouds noted earlier in satellite
imagery have begun to erode as daytime heating and a lifting warm
front promote steady destabilization (MLCAPE up to around 1500 J/kg
per mesoanalysis estimates), suggesting that convection is gradually
becoming rooted near the surface. Additionally, the KFSM VWP is
sampling 0-1 km SRH between 150-180 m2/s2, which is adequate to
support a tornado threat with discrete convection. Watch issuance is
expected for portions of western AR where convective trends and
recent high-res guidance suggests a severe/tornado threat is
developing. Further south, weaker forcing for ascent casts some
doubt on thunderstorm coverage for the short term and when watch
issuance will be needed this afternoon/evening (though trends will
continue to be monitored).
