.SYNOPSIS...DEEP STACKED LOW WAS MOVING E-SE ACROSS ARKANSAS AT THIS
TIME. BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER OUR ERN CWFA WAS
PUSHING SLOWLY E...AND THIS BAND EXTENDED WELL SW INTO THE GULF WITH
QUITE A BIT OF ECHO TRAINING NOTED ON RADAR. MSAS OBJECTIVE THETA-E
ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT THE COLD FRONT THAT EXTENDED ALONG THE LOWER MS
RIVER VALLEY HAS BECOME A BIT MORE DIFFUSE AND E-W ORIENTED. THIS
LOWERS THE SEVERE THREAT BUT INCREASES THE FLOODING POTENTIAL.

OUR CWFA IN A HIGH RISK AREA FOR EXCEEDED FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE
