\n\nMesoscale Discussion 0399\nNWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK\n0533 PM CDT Fri Apr 04 2025\n\nAreas affected...Northeast TX\/Northwest LA into central\/northern AR\n\nConcerning...Tornado Watch 113...\n\nValid 042233Z - 050000Z\n\nThe severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 113 continues.\n\nSUMMARY...Tornado potential, including a strong (EF2+) tornado risk,\nwill be maximized through early evening across the ArkLaTex,\nespecially across far northeast Texas into southwest Arkansas, while\nalso increasing across north-central Arkansas. Tornado Watch 113\ncontinues until 9pm CDT\/02z.\n\nDISCUSSION...Multiple intense supercells are ongoing at 525pm\nCDT\/2225z across far northeast Texas and extreme southeast\nOklahoma\/far southwest Arkansas, including a particularly intense\nsupercell with prior tornadic history in Upshur County about 25\nmiles north of Longview. While the storm mode is complex, the\nenvironment remains highly favorable for tornadoes, potentially\nincluding a strong tornado risk amidst 150-200 m2\/s2 0-1km SRH and\nlower 70s F dewpoints with T\/Td spreads of 10-15F. \n\nFarther north, semi-discrete supercells have intensified across\nnorth-central Arkansas, and this trend is likely to continue with an\nincreasing tornado potential across this region. This zone will be\nincreasingly influenced by a pronounced early-evening strengthening\nof the low-level jet, with current surface observations of\n2.0-3.5mb\/2-hourly pressure falls and dewpoints having recently\nincreased several degrees.\n\n..Guyer.. 04\/04\/2025\n\n...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...\n\nATTN...WFO...MEG...LZK...SHV...\n\nLAT...LON 32529383 32379522 34069442 36459263 35779096 32529383 \n\nMOST PROBABLE PEAK TORNADO INTENSITY...140-170 MPH\nMOST PROBABLE PEAK WIND GUST...65-80 MPH\nMOST PROBABLE PEAK HAIL SIZE...1.50-2.50 IN\n\n<\/pre>\nRead more<\/a><\/li>- Fri, 04 Apr 2025 23:18:02 +0000: SPC MD 400<\/a> - SPC Forecast Products
MD 0400 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 117... FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN KENTUCKY\n<\/a>
\n\nMesoscale Discussion 0400\nNWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK\n0616 PM CDT Fri Apr 04 2025\n\nAreas affected...Portions of eastern Kentucky\n\nConcerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 117...\n\nValid 042316Z - 050015Z\n\nThe severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 117\ncontinues.\n\nSUMMARY...Threat for severe hail and damaging gusts continues across\nsevere thunderstorm Watch 117, though the threat is expected to\ndiurnally wane.\n\nDISCUSSION...Scattered storms are ongoing north of the synoptic\nstationary boundary. Boundary-layer flow has remained relatively\nweak with neutral height tendencies leading to weak forcing. Despite\nthis, relatively steep lapse rates and deep convective profiles\ncontinue to be supportive of a hail threat. Additionally, some drier\nsurface air, particularly with eastern extent, may provide some\nnegative buoyancy for some weak downbursts that may produce damaging\ngusts. However, recent convective trends have been to weaken the\nstorms with the loss of diurnal heating, and storms should continue\nto wane in both coverage and intensity.\n\n..Supinie.. 04\/04\/2025\n\n...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...\n\nATTN...WFO...JKL...LMK...\n\nLAT...LON 38188565 38128420 38058353 37878306 37528300 37148304\n 36808340 36718395 36688504 36818596 37228656 37778669\n 38128662 38228629 38188565 \n\nMOST PROBABLE PEAK TORNADO INTENSITY...85-115 MPH\nMOST PROBABLE PEAK WIND GUST...65-80 MPH\nMOST PROBABLE PEAK HAIL SIZE...1.00-1.75 IN\n\n<\/pre>\nRead more<\/a><\/li>- Fri, 04 Apr 2025 23:18:02 +0000: SPC MD 398<\/a> - SPC Forecast Products
MD 0398 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 118... FOR PARTS OF SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS\n<\/a>
\n\nMesoscale Discussion 0398\nNWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK\n0528 PM CDT Fri Apr 04 2025\n\nAreas affected...parts of southern Missouri and southern Illinois\n\nConcerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 118...\n\nValid 042228Z - 050000Z\n\nThe severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 118\ncontinues.\n\nSUMMARY...Storms north of the warm front may produce hail and\nperhaps some damaging gusts this evening, and a watch has been\nissued.\n\nDISCUSSION...Scattered storms are ongoing to the north of a warm\nfront lifting slowly northward across parts of northern Arkansas,\nand a watch has been issued in this area. ACARS profiles from STL\nshow a strong surface stable layer north of the front that has been\ngetting shallower over time as it is eroded by a strong\nsouth-southwesterly low-level jet. Above the surface stable layer,\nample buoyancy for hail production along with strong deep-layer\nshear may support a hail risk. Additionally, with the stable layer\neroding with time, some downdrafts may be able to penetrate to the\nsurface to produce damaging gusts, given the strong flow aloft.\nHowever, poor lapse rates aloft and messy storm modes may limit both\nthe hail threat due to higher freezing levels and weaker updrafts\nand the wind threat due to weaker downdrafts.\n\n..Supinie.. 04\/04\/2025\n\n...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...\n\nATTN...WFO...PAH...LSX...SGF...\n\nLAT...LON 37049353 37389309 37859247 38129074 38388952 38448847\n 38318807 37938826 37379020 36819201 36699340 37049353 \n\nMOST PROBABLE PEAK WIND GUST...55-70 MPH\nMOST PROBABLE PEAK HAIL SIZE...1.00-1.75 IN\n\n<\/pre>\nRead more<\/a><\/li>- Fri, 04 Apr 2025 23:04:03 +0000: SPC Severe Thunderstorm Watch 118 Status Reports<\/a> - SPC Forecast Products
