CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 223...

VALID 012311Z - 020015Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 223
CONTINUES.

THREAT OF SEVERE HAIL/DMGG WINDS REMAINS OVER WW223...WITH
REDEVELOPMENT STILL POSSIBLE ACROSS CNTRL PORTIONS OF THE WATCH.

FAVORABLE MOISTURE/UPPER 60S DEW POINTS CONTINUE TO ALLOW
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG A SLOWLY SAGGING COLD FRONT...AND
AHEAD OF A SUBTLE VORT MAX...NOW NOTED ON WV IMAGERY NEAR THE SWRN
MO/NWRN AR BORDER. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS WHAT APPEARS TO
BE A GRAVITY WAVE MOVING INTO SRN AR. THIS HAS LIKELY BRIEFLY
STABILIZED THE AIRMASS BEHIND IT IN THE CNTRL PORTIONS OF THE
WATCH...SUPPORTED BY GENERAL NON-CONVECTIVE APPEARANCE OF CLOUDS AND
LACK OF DEVELOPMENT IN THESE AREAS. HOWEVER...REDEVELOPMENT STILL
REMAINS A POSSIBILITY IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING VORT MAX...AND
AS THINNING CLOUD COVER ALLOWS HEATING/DESTABILIZATION ONCE AGAIN.
GIVEN A MODERATE TO VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE COMBINED WITH
MODERATELY STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW...PRIMARY THREATS OF DMGG
WINDS/LARGE HAIL WILL CONTINUE TO BE A THREAT ACROSS THE WATCH AREA.
