    SUMMARY...The evolution of an ongoing eastward/southeastward moving
    cluster of storms remains uncertain in the near term, but
    thunderstorm development with increasing risk for severe hail and
    wind is possible through 2-4 PM CDT.

    DISCUSSION...An initial intensification of thunderstorm development
    across the Muskogee OK vicinity appeared focused near an area of
    enhanced lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection (around 700 mb), but
    has become better sustained southward along strengthening convective
    outflow into areas to the east of McAlester. This activity is
    embedded within modest (20-30) westerly deep-layer mean flow, but
    downward mixing of northwesterly rear inflow is contributing to
    southeastward propagation of the cold pool toward the Ark-La-Tex
    vicinity, where stronger boundary-destabilization is currently
    focused.

    Northeast of De Queen AR into the Russellville AR vicinity the
    environment is still in the process of recovering from prior
    convection, while warming elevated mixed-layer air continues to
    advect northeastward into/across the Red River Valley and Ark-La-Tex
    vicinity. So, subsequent evolution of convection remains uncertain.
    However, a corridor of continuing intensifying thunderstorm
    development appears possible along the northeastern periphery of the
    more strongly capping elevated mixed-layer air into the peak heating
    hours. If this occurs, it would likely be accompanied by increasing
    potential for strong to severe surface gusts in the presence of
    moderate to strong shear (largely due to veering winds with height)
    and strong convective instability.=20=20

    Discrete storm development near/just ahead of the southeastward
    advancing cold pool also appears possible, and would probably be
    accompanied by a risk for large hail as well.
