    Mesoscale Discussion 2126
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0224 AM CDT Wed Sep 24 2025

    Areas affected...Southwest/south-central AR

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

    Valid 240724Z - 240830Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated large hail and strong gust threat is possible
    with sporadic intensification and weakening of individual storm
    cells across southern Arkansas through the pre-dawn hours.

    DISCUSSION...Embedded within a broader swath of mainly weak
    convective and stratiform elements, one cell briefly intensified
    across southwest AR. Before pulsing down again, it did contain a
    robust MRMS MESH signature, hail spike, and CC min indicative of a
    large hail core in the mid levels. Stratiform immediately ahead of
    this cell has diminished, which may support another round or two of reintensification of this cell or other nearby updrafts over the
    next 2-3 hours. Background environment is characterized by very high
    PW values of 2-2.25 inches per GPS PW data, amid weak,
    moist-adiabatic tropospheric lapse rates. In addition, RAP forecast
    soundings appear to be slightly too strong with 6-9 km AGL winds per
    area VWP data. As such, large hail cores should struggle to be
    sustained, with peak sizes likely remaining in the quarter to golf
    ball range. Locally strong gusts, amid otherwise background light
    surface winds, are possible in collapsing cores.
