0309 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023
Areas affected...Portions of eastern Arkansas...northern
Louisiana...and western Mississippi
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 261...
Valid 102009Z - 102215Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...An isolated damaging wind threat continues especially at
the southern end ahead of slow-moving MCS. A local extension of
Severe Thunderstorm Watch 261 may be needed in Louisiana, but the
need for a downstream watch is uncertain at this time.
DISCUSSION...An MCS that evolved across Oklahoma overnight has
continued sagging slowly southeastward through the morning and early
afternoon. The southern end of the line has a history of producing
damaging winds and poses the greatest short-term severe threat.
Weak flow/shear will likely limit the overall organization of the
convection. Nevertheless, unstable and moist conditions ahead of
the MCS will support the threat of wet microbursts capable of
producing isolated damaging winds. If storms show signs of better
organization/clustering, then a downstream watch may be considered.
