A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM/MCS/ IS CURRENTLY SPREADING WIDESPREAD SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY INTO SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE AREA SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY AND AHEAD OF THE MCS IS RELATIVELY CLOUD-FREE AND IS DESTABILIZING. AN 18Z RAOB SHOULD GET A NICE SAMPLING OF THE PRE-MCS ENVIRONMENT. EXPECT MCS TO CONTINUE NE PROGRESSION ACROSS ALL OF NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. THE AREA RECEIVING GREATER SURFACE HEATING IS CURRENTLY UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH...A GREATER RISK FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS EXISTS THERE BECAUSE OF GREATER INSTABILITY...BUT THE AREA JUST NORTH OF THE WATCH ALONG THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR IS NOT EXEMPT FROM RECEIVING STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OCCUR WITH THE STORMS AS WELL. IN THE PAST 12 TO 18 HRS...THE AREA ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A JONESVILLE TO MAYERSVILLE TO DEKALB LINE RECEIVED A WIDESPREAD ONE TO THREE INCHES OF RAIN. IT APPEARS THE HEAVIER RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON WILL STAY SOUTH OF THAT AREA...SO NOT EXPECTING A SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOOD RISK. MINOR UPDATES WERE MADE TO TODAYS AND THIS EVENINGS FORECAST GRIDS TO ADUST FOR THE LATEST TEMP/CLOUD/WEATHER TRENDS. && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE. AR...NONE. && EC
