Severe Thunderstorm Warning 124, NWS Little Rock, AR

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
256 PM CDT MON MAY 9 2016

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT

A POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EVENT IS SETTING UP FOR LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS
QUICKLY PROGRESSING EASTWARD ACROSS THE PANHANDLES REGION OF
TX/OK. MEANWHILE...MORNING SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS LINGERED ACROSS
MUCH OF THE STATE...WITH AN EXPANSIVE AREA OF CLOUD COVER STILL
COVER THE BULK OF THE REGION. THIS HAS HAS LIMITED THE
HEATING/INSTABILITY POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON.

REGARDLESS...GIVEN THE IMPRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE SHORTWAVE...THERE WILL STILL CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
EXPECTED. MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE EXPECTED TO STEEPEN AS COLDER
TEMPS ARE ADVECTED EASTWARD. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A DEEPER CAPE
PROFILE AND STRONGER UPDRAFTS. AS SUCH...DO EXPECT
DISCRETE...SUPERCELL FORMATION ACROSS EASTERN OK AND WESTERN AR
THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY AS A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY BEGINS TO
LIFT. STORMS THAT GET GOING OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE
LATER TODAY WILL BE CABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING
WINDS...AND SOME TORNADOES.

AS THE STORMS MOVE EASTWARD INTO CENTRAL PORTIONS...THE DISCRETE
CELLS COULD LOSE SOME OF THE SURFACED BASED INSTABILITY AND FORM A
QUASI-LINER CONVECTIVE LINE...POTENTIALLY LIMITING THE TORNADIC
CHANCES LATER.

THE STORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THE EARLY OVERNIGHT
HOURS BEFORE PASSING EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

FOR TUESDAY...WARM DEWPOINTS WILL BE IN PLACE...WITH DECENT
INSTABILITY. HOWEVER...UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT LOOKS MINIMAL AT BEST.
HOWEVER...SOME STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE

&&

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT

AN UPPER LEVEL TROF AND A SFC COLD FRONT WILL BE PUSHING THRU THE
AREA IN THE WEDNESDAY TO THURSDAY TIME FRAME. LOOKS LIKE THERE COULD
BE ANOTHER RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER...MAINLY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT
ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA.

AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THRU...SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO
THE AREA...AS A NWLY FLOW BECOMES ESTABLISHED ALOFT. BY THIS
WEEKEND...ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL BE AFFECTING THE AREA...BRINGING
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES BACK INTO THE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY. 53
