    Areas affected...parts of northern Louisiana...eastern
    Arkansas...southwestern Tennessee and northwestern Mississippi

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 35...

    Valid 160450Z - 160645Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 35 continues.

    SUMMARY...The risk for severe thunderstorms capable of producing
    tornadoes may peak during the Midnight-3 AM CST time frame.

    DISCUSSION...As the center of a modest surface cyclone migrates from
    near McAlester, OK toward the Fayetteville/Harrison, AR vicinity
    through 06-08Z, flow around 850 mb is forecast to continue
    increasing in excess of 40 kts in a broadening swath centered across
    Arkansas into the lower Mississippi Valley. Within this regime,
    deeper low-level moisture appears likely to focus along a confluence
    zone well ahead of the main surface front trailing the cyclone,
    across northeastern Louisiana toward areas near/northwest of
    Memphis.

    Convection continues to gradually deepen along this corridor, with thunderstorms initiating as mid-level inhibition is overcome with
    large-scale ascent. Although, even in the warmer and more moist
    boundary-layer across this region, weak/stable near-surface lapse
    rates could still mitigate the severe weather threat somewhat,
    low-level hodographs may become most conducive to the risk for
    tornadoes, before trending more linear with the approach of the
    front later tonight.

    Areas affected...portions of central into northern California

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 192051Z - 192315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple of semi-discrete, low-topped supercells may form
    later this afternoon, accompanied by a brief tornado or marginally
    severe hail/wind risk. A WW issuance appears unlikely given the
    brief, localized nature of the severe threat.

    DISCUSSION...A pronounced mid-level trough and associated surface
    low continue to promote strong flow fields over central into
    northern CA as they linger just offshore. Some clearing of clouds
    and precipitation over portions of the Sacramento Valley have
    allowed surface temperatures to reach the lower to mid 60s F in
    spots. While 7 C/km mid-level lapse rates (per 20Z mesoanalysis)
    overspread the low to mid 60s F temperatures, the diurnal heating
    has also allowed for the mixing of the low-level moisture, with
    surface dewpoints only as high as 50 F in spots. These lower
    dewpoints support thin SBCAPE profiles (no more than 500 J/kg in
    most spots). While the DAX and BBX VADs show relatively large,
    curved hodographs (300+ m2/s2 0-3 km SRH), RAP forecast soundings
    suggest that such low dewpoints do not sufficiently destabilize the
    boundary layer for optimal ingestion of the available SRH. While
    low-topped storms (perhaps supercells) may develop later today with
    a marginally severe hail/wind threat, the tornado risk is a bit more
    uncertain. Nonetheless, if a robust, discrete low-topped supercell
    manages to develop, a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.=20

    Coverage of robust updrafts over the Sacramento Valley remains
    uncertain, and any severe threat that can materialize should be
    brief and very localized. As such, a WW issuance does not appear
    likely at this time.
