    Mesoscale Discussion 1402

    Areas affected...portions of the Ark-La-Tex region and northern AL
    and MS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 031748Z - 031945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorm development is expected for the
    next several hours. Sporadic gusty winds and small hail will be the
    primary threats.

    DISCUSSION...Convective development is underway in portions of the
    Ark-La-Tex region eastward through northern AL and MS. These
    updrafts are forming along and to the south of a weak cold front
    with temperatures generally in the low 90s F and dewpoints in the
    70s F. Boundary-layer mixing beneath mostly clear skies has yielded
    an uncapped airmass characterized by around 2500+ J/kg MLCAPE and
    effective shear around 15-20 kts. Convective development thus far is
    consistent with environmental expectations, including locally
    stronger updraft pulses with reflectivity cores extending to around
    40000+ ft (e.g., Lawrence County cell in northern AL). The overall
    environment will remain mostly steady for the next few hours as the
    weak cold front becomes quasi-stationary beneath modest, zonal flow
    aloft. As such, continued scattered thunderstorm development is
    expected with sporadic damaging wind gusts and small hail being the
    primary threats with stronger local updraft pulses.
