AREAS AFFECTED...NRN AR...FAR SE MO...WRN KY

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 761...

VALID 090406Z - 090530Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 761 CONTINUES.

AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT AND POTENTIAL FOR WIND DAMAGE WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS TORNADO WATCH 761 OVER THE NEXT 2 TO 3 HOURS. VERY
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE LIKELY ACROSS THE WATCH AREA.

A NEARLY CONTINUOUS LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS ONGOING ALONG A TIGHT
GRADIENT OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE EVIDENT ON SFC ANALYSIS. SOUTH OF THE
LINE...SFC DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE LOWER 70S F AND THE RUC HAS
INCREASED INSTABILITY WITH MLCAPE VALUES NOW RANGING FROM 1000 J/KG
NEAR THE AR STATE-LINE TO ALMOST 3000 J/KG IN SW AR. THIS SHOULD
HELP SUSTAIN THE LINE EWD ACROSS NRN AR OVER THE NEXT 1 TO 3 HOURS.
THE RUC ALSO SUGGESTS THIS CORRIDOR REMAINS UNCAPPED POINTING TO A
POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WITH INDIVIDUAL BOWING-LINE
SEGMENTS EMBEDDED IN THE SQUALL-LINE. LOW-LEVEL SHEAR PROFILES ARE
STILL QUITE IMPRESSIVE AS EVIDENCED ON THE LITTLE ROCK WSR-88D VWP.
THIS IS ENOUGH FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT ESPECIALLY WITH ANY
ROTATING STORMS EMBEDDED IN OR AHEAD OF THE LINE. VERY HEAVY RAIN
WITH RAINFALL RATES OF 1-2 INCHES PER HOUR WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE
WITH THE MORE INTENSE CELLS.
