DYERSBURG TENNESSEE TO 35 MILES SOUTH SOUTHEAST OF BATESVILLE
ARKANSAS.  FOR A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE

DISCUSSION...LONG-LIVED SUPERCELLS IN N CNTRL AR EXPECTED TO

MO AND NW TN THROUGH LATER THIS MORNING.  BOTH SATELLITE AND MODEL
GUIDANCE SUGGEST THAT LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL BE WEAK
RELATIVE TO POINTS IMMEDIATELY NORTH.  WARM LAYER AROUND 700 MB ALSO
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASING CINH WITH SWD EXTENT IN AR/W
TN...POSSIBLY INHIBITING DEVELOPMENT OF NEW STORMS.  BUT COMBINATION
OF VERY STRONG LOW TO MID LVL WIND FIELD...INCREASING LOW LVL
MOISTURE...AND LOW LVL CONFLUENCE SUGGEST CONTINUED CONDITIONAL RISK
FOR TORNADOES...POSSIBLY STRONG...AND DMGG WIND WITH ANY SUSTAINED
STORMS.

SURFACE AND ALOFT TO 1.5 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE
