    Areas affected...Arklatex...South/Central Arkansas...Northern
    Mississippi...and western Tennessee

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20

    Valid 012022Z - 012215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe storms are expected to develop and increase in
    coverage by the afternoon/evening. More discrete cells may pose risk
    of large hail and a few tornadoes. Tornado Watch likely needed by
    21-22z.

    DISCUSSION...Current surface objective analysis and data from 18z
    soundings at SHV and LZK show some progress made in eroding CIN
    across the corridor from Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi.
    However, daytime heating is well underway with surface obs showing
    temperatures across southern Louisiana and Mississippi approaching
    the upper 70s to lower 80s. Moisture is in place with mid to upper
    60s dew points into central Arkansas and Tennessee. Trends within
    CAM guidance have been for development of more discrete cells
    initially across the Arklatex region by 21-23z, where the cap has
    been weakening within the last couple of hours. Once storms develop,
    initial discrete cells will be capable of large hail, given deep
    layer shear profiles of 60-65 kts. Any cells that can become surface
    based near the AR/LA border will support some risk for tornadoes
    given adequate low level shear. As the low level jet gradually
    strengthens late afternoon/evening, elongating shear profiles and
    increasing 0-1 km shear should support a greater risk for tornadoes.
    A Tornado Watch is likely by 21-22z.

    Areas affected...Northeast Ohio into western/central Pennsylvania
    and western New York

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 101613Z - 102015Z

    SUMMARY...Snow squall potential will persist into the early
    afternoon hours across northeast Ohio into western/central
    Pennsylvania, and western New York.

    DISCUSSION...Over the past few hours, a combination of broken cloud
    cover and low/mid-level cold air advection over the upper OH river
    valley and lower Great Lakes region has allowed for low-level lapse
    rates to steepen to 7-8 C/km. These steep lapse rates are supporting
    shallow convection across central to western PA with a history of
    producing snow squall conditions (reduced visibility to 0.25 mile at
    times with moderate snowfall rates and wind gusts upwards of 25-30
    mph). The expectation is for this thermodynamic regime to largely
    remain in place through at least early afternoon before cold air
    advection in the 925-850 mb layer wanes later in the day. As
    low/mid-level destabilization continues for the next few hours,
    SBCAPE values should approach 250 J/kg, resulting in an
    intensification of precipitation/snowfall rates within convective
    snow showers. Recent high-res guidance suggests additional snow
    bands will propagate off of Lake Erie through early afternoon into
    northeast OH, PA, and western NY. One such band is evident in
    regional reflectivity across far western NY, lending confidence in
    this overall scenario. Consequently, the potential for snow squalls
    should continue for the next several hours.
