    Areas affected...from northeast Arkansas across the Missouri
    Bootheel and toward the Ohio River

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

    Valid 161642Z - 161915Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...We are monitoring convective trends along the immediate
    cold front from far northeast Arkansas into western Kentucky.

    DISCUSSION...A cold front currently extends from southwest IN toward
    the MO Bootheel and into northern AR, with higher reflectivities
    within a currently low-topped convective line. Southwest surface
    winds continue to slowly bring relative warmth northward, with
    minimal instability currently. VWPs show 0-1 km SRH of 200-300
    m2/s2, with the strongest values over northern areas.

    Lightning activity as well as higher echo tops currently exist over
    northern AR and into the MO Bootheel where instability is more
    favorable. With time, gradual destabilization within the narrow
    pre-frontal zone, combined with low-level convergence, could result
    in a marginal severe risk. This risk is clearly conditional, but a
    small overlapping area of sufficient instability and favorable
    low-level shear cold result in a brief/weak tornado or localized
    damaging wind threat. At this time, a watch it not anticipated.
