Mesoscale Discussion 0401
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0804 PM CDT Fri Apr 04 2025
Areas affected...Northeast TX/Northwest LA into
north-central/northeast AR
Concerning...Tornado Watch 113...
Valid 050104Z - 050230Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 113 continues.
SUMMARY...Tornado potential will continue to focus across far
northeast Texas, far northwest Louisiana northeastward into
south-central to north-central/northeast Arkansas this evening.
Tornado Watch 113 continues until 9pm CDT/02z, but a replacement
(and east-northeastward expanding) Tornado Watch is expected.
DISCUSSION...Scattered intense storms including
embedded/semi-discrete supercells will continue to focus this
evening especially within a southwest/northeast-oriented corridor
across southwest/central into north-central/northeast Arkansas. The
complex/muddled convective mode will continue to be a factor, but
the moist environment and strengthening low-level shear will
continue to support tornado potential, possibly including a strong
tornado, aside from damaging winds/some hail.
The 00z observed sounding from Little Rock features a moisture-rich
boundary layer with a 70F surface dewpoint and 13.8 g/kg mean mixing
ratio. 0-1km SRH was around 330 m2/s2, and increase over the past
couple hours per prior WSR-88D VWP data, with a further increase
expected over the next hour or two especially from southwest/central
Arkansas northeastward into northeast Arkansas/far southeast
Missouri.
