.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
.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.
&&
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
TODAY - BOTH OBSERVED DATA AND MODEL PROGS INDICATE W A SLOWER
SOLUTION WITH THE MENTIONED LOW. NAM IS SLOWER WITH THE MODEL
INSTABILITY AXIS / THUNDERSTORM LINE PASSAGE THROUGH OUR CWFA IN THE

AGREE WITH THE LATEST SWODY1 THAT DESTABILIZATION MAY BE LIMITED
WITH ONGOING MCS. STILL WOULD NOT RULE OUT HAIL WITH COLD
TEMPERATURES ALOFT AS UPPER LOW TRACKS E ACROSS AL/GA.

EXCESSIVE RAINFALL DISCUSSION AND GRAPHIC...WHICH PLACES MUCH OF
OUR CWFA IN A HIGH RISK AREA FOR EXCEEDED FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE
VALUES. WILL ALSO MENTION POSSIBLE SEVERE PER SWODY1 GUIDANCE.
TONIGHT - POPS SHOULD TAPER FROM W-E.
FRIDAY - UPPER LOW EXPECTED TO BE OVER GA...WITH A COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE ALSO EXPECTED DURING THE DAY. STEEP LAPSE RATES AND
SIGNIFICANT RESIDUAL BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE JUSTIFY CHANCE POPS FOR
SHOWERS AND STRAY TSRA POPPING UP DURING THE DAY. PLEASE SEE THE SPC
SWODY2 PRODUCT FOR MORE DETAILS.
