Mesoscale Discussion 0709 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0350 PM CDT Wed May 08 2024 Areas affected...much of southern Missouri into eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas Concerning...Tornado Watch 205...208... Valid 082050Z - 082245Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 205, 208 continues. SUMMARY...The threat of supercells producing very large hail, tornadoes and damaging gusts persists from southern Missouri into northeast Oklahoma, with additional storms anticipated farther south. DISCUSSION...Several supercells exist along a front from northeast OK into southwest MO, with addition activity just on the cool/north side of an east-west oriented outflow boundary from the earlier MCS. This boundary appears to be mixing out, as temperatures are recovering over south-central MO near the front. Given time of day, additional pockets of air mass recovery are possible with tornado potential remaining. Farther south, extreme instability persists over eastern OK into western AR, and convergence near the cold front in OK is expected to yield at least isolated supercells. These will have very large hail potential, along with periodic tornado threat as 0-1 SRH remains above 100 m2/s2. ..Jewell.. 05/08/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
