Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted May 9 Administrators Share Posted May 9 MD 0719 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 208...210... FOR ARKLATEX VICINITY Mesoscale Discussion 0719 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0930 PM CDT Wed May 08 2024 Areas affected...ArkLaTex Vicinity Concerning...Tornado Watch 208...210... Valid 090230Z - 090430Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 208, 210 continues. SUMMARY...The risk of large/very-large hail, isolated severe gusts, and a tornado or two could persist beyond 03Z. Watch extensions could be needed for southeast Arkansas into northwest Louisiana. DISCUSSION...Two supercells continue east-southeastward in northeast Texas. They have both shown some oscillations in intensity and organization over the past hour or so. The environment remains strongly buoyant ahead of them with 40-50 kts of effective shear. Large to possibly very large hail still may occur as could isolated severe gusts. The tornado risk is less certain, though a modest increase in low-level helicity is evident downstream on objective mesoanalysis. Based on current projections, these storms will probably effect portions of northwest Louisiana and southeast Arkansas beyond the 03Z time frame when WW 208 and WW 210 are set to expire. Some local extensions in time/area may be needed to account for this possibility. ..Wendt.. 05/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...SHV...FWD...
