    Areas affected...portions of Oklahoma and Texas into Arkansas

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

    Valid 081819Z - 082045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected this
    afternoon and evening. Sporadic damaging gusts are possible with the
    stronger storms or clusters that become established. A WW is
    unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...As of 1815 UTC, regional radar and satellite imagery
    showed initial convection ongoing across parts of AR OK and TX was
    increasing in coverage and intensity early this afternoon. Focused
    along a slow-moving outflow boundary/remnant MCV and local terrain
    features, a gradual increase in storm coverage is expected over the
    region through the next several hours.

    Strong diurnal heating amid a seasonably moist air mass is
    supporting 3000-4000 J/kg of SBCAPE across a broad area. This will
    support occasional stronger updrafts as strong diurnal heating and
    weak ascent east of the sub tropical ridge aid in new storm
    development. Vertical shear is weak (10-20 kt) suggesting little if
    any storm organization is likely. This will favor pulse storms with
    some potential for clustering within areas of higher storm coverage,
    especially along and south of the outflow/MCV and across southern
    AR.

    Given the mode and strong buoyancy, sporadic damaging gusts
    associated with strong downdrafts are possible. However, the lack of
    broader forcing for ascent and the limited vertical shear suggests a
    more widespread severe risk is unlikely. Scattered storms appear
    likely to continue into this evening with an occasional damaging
    gust. A slow weakening trend near and after sunset as buoyancy
    should begin to wane.
