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

    Valid 040706Z - 040900Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development may persist and/or increase
    through daybreak across parts of central into northern Arkansas and
    adjacent portions of the Mid South. Stronger cells could pose a
    risk for severe hail. It is not clear that a watch is needed, but
    trends will continue to be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered, moderately strong thunderstorm development
    has persisted above shallow cold air to the north of sharp stalled
    surface front (southeast of Memphis into the El Dorado and
    Shreveport vicinities), roughly focused along the baroclinic zone
    around 925 mb. This has been supported by forcing for ascent
    associated with low-level warm advection, despite the presence of
    inhibition associated with warm layers aloft, beneath broadly
    anticyclonic mid/upper flow.

    Downstream of a short wave perturbation progressing
    north-northeastward across the Texas South Plains vicinity, the
    focusing low-level baroclinic zone is forecast to shift northward
    during the next few hours, perhaps across and north of a Hot
    Springs-Memphis line by 12Z. Model output suggests that this may be accompanied by increasing, elevated thunderstorm development to the
    north of it, with thermodynamic profiles and convective-layer shear
    perhaps still supportive of the risk for severe hail in isolated to
    widely scattered stronger cells.
