Mesoscale Discussion 1224 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0916 PM CDT Sun Jun 09 2024 Areas affected...Central/southern AR into northern MS Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 401... Valid 100216Z - 100345Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 401 continues. SUMMARY...A strong storm or two remains possible late this evening, but any remaining severe threat is expected to be isolated. DISCUSSION...Convection has generally weakened and become less organized this evening from central AR into northern MS, with a tendency for storms to be undercut by an outflow-reinforced front. However, relatively rich low-level moisture persists north of the outflow, and moderate buoyancy could still support a few stronger storms late this evening, with effective shear still marginally supportive of organized convection. Isolated hail and/or damaging gusts cannot be ruled out late this evening, especially with any left-moving cell (such as the severe storm earlier in Lee County, MS). However, if current trends continue, additional watch issuance across the area after the expiration of WW 401 is not anticipated. ..Dean/Bunting.. 06/10/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
