Mesoscale Discussion 0187 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1139 PM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025 Areas affected...southern Arkansas...far northern Louisiana...and into northern and western Mississippi Concerning...Tornado Watch 36...38... Valid 150439Z - 150615Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 36, 38 continues. SUMMARY...Tornado risk is evolving across portions of southern Arkansas, far northern Louisiana, and western Mississippi. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a band of supercells moving eastward across Arkansas at this time, several with ongoing/strong circulations evident. The southern portion of this band -- over southern Arkansas -- will continue moving eastward across northwestern portions of Tornado Watch 38. Meanwhile farther east, a supercell is crossing southern Leflore County in west-central Mississippi, which is also exhibiting low-level rotation. Meanwhile, other/weaker convection is evolving south of this storm, where CAMs suggest potential for an increase in severe-storm potential over the next couple of hours. Given the favorable environment (both kinematically and thermodynamically), expect risk to continue across portions of WW 38 for several hours across this region. ..Goss.. 03/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
