A few straggling storms remain across the Highway 82 corridor and
north. One has become severe but others might produce locally
heavy rainfall. Much of the region should be quiet overnight but
hi res guidance indicates some convection lingering just to the
north of the forecast area. POPs have been adjusted accordingly
and going forecast is otherwise in decent shape. /28/

Prior discussion below:

Tonight & Wednesday: Tonight: Some flash flooding potential could
linger into the early evening hours. Closed low aloft will become
less organized & progged to slowly move E-NE out of the Ozarks
into the Mid-Upper MS Valley. This will help drive a southern
stream shortwave trough axis west of the MS River around midnight
& right along the MS River by daybreak. With subtle ascent, high
PW/low-level Theta E in the cloud bearing layer, heavy downpours
can't be ruled out. Due to this, kept the current HWO
graphic/threats as is, but most should end by early evening. With
high PWs & HREF guidance indicative of MCV potential but limited
coverage, convective potential will be tricky overnight. Flash
Flood Watch is only going to go through 9PM, due to lower
confidence in convective redevelopment. Severe potential looks
less likely, but can't rule out some stronger storms with any
redevelopment. Lows will remain above normal due to clouds & high
low-level moisture.

Wednesday: Trough axis will propagate across the region on
Wednesday, leading to increased low-level convergence & ascent. Any
lingering rain & storms will become more robust as heating increases.
Scattered-numerous rain & storms are expected, mainly across the Hwy
82 & Hwy 45 corridors. Expect any convection to become robust into
the afternoon. Lapse rates & minor-moderate destabilization will
lead to some efficient cold pool potential, but vertical totals will
be less than today. Best wind potential will again will be segments
bowing more to the E. Some strong to isolated severe storms, with
gusty winds, can't be ruled out but will be more diurnal & mesoscale
driven. Any MCV, which continues to be depicted in HREF CAM suite
guidance, could help coverage to pick up. In addition, high moisture
laden air could help convective coverage to pick up by mid-morning.
With being highly mesoscale driven & less microburst potential, will
hold off mention for now. Heavy downpours are again possible, but
coverage will be a little more scattered & less focused over the
same area with wet antecedent conditions. Will hold off any mention
in the HWO for now. Highs will again near normals, but slightly
cooler in the N & E where more rain/storms will reside. Some heat
stress from warmth/humidity is possible, with heat indices into the
upper 90s. /DC/

Wednesday night through Monday night: the mean trough position
will shift a bit more to the northeast of the ArkLaMiss as we
finish up the week and go into the weekend, while ridging
increases over the Southern Plains to our west. Cyclonic flow
aloft should continue to support a considerable amount of
thunderstorm activity, and it may not necessarily peak during the
afternoon/evening. There could be a sneaky heavy rain threat with
this sort of pattern as a persistent moisture convergence may
attempt to set up with northwest flow aloft along the eastern edge
of the increasing ridge. Looking ahead to early next week, we
should see hotter weather and decreasing rain chances overall with
the ridge expanding more into the ArkLaMiss region. /EC/
