Areas affected...Eastern Oklahoma...Northern Arkansas...Southern
Missouri

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

Valid 060206Z - 060400Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

SUMMARY...A severe threat is likely to develop from eastern Oklahoma
east-northeastward across southern Missouri and northern Arkansas
over the next hour. Weather watch will be needed across the region.

DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis shows a cold front across
northern Oklahoma, far southeast Kansas and western Missouri. The
front is moving southeastward and low-level convergence has
increased over the last according to objective analysis. In
response, convective towers have developed along the front and cells
are beginning to initiate. The airmass ahead of the front is moist
with surface dewpoints near 60 F and MLCAPE is estimated to be in
the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. In addition, the latest WSR-88D VWPs at
Tulsa and Fort Smith have 0-6 km shear in the 40 to 50 kt range with
speed shear in the boundary layer and curved hodographs. This should
be favorable for supercells with storms that can remain discrete
amid a rapid expansion in convective coverage. The low-level shear
may also support a tornado threat. Eventually, a nearly continuous
line of storms is expected to organize along the front. Wind damage,
hail and an isolated tornado threat should accompany the more
intense parts of the line. The threat should develop eastward and
southeastward with time as the cold front advances.
