    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN EAST TEXAS TO
    FAR SOUTHERN ARKANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from later Monday
    afternoon into Monday night across east Texas towards the
    Ark-La-Miss. A few tornadoes along with large hail and damaging
    winds are anticipated.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will traverse the central/southern
    states on Monday with a second mid-level trough advancing from the
    Northwest to the northern Plains. At the surface, high pressure will
    dominate much of the eastern CONUS with broad low pressure across
    the Plains and Upper Midwest. A warm front near the Gulf Coast
    Monday morning will lift north through the day.

    ...East Texas to southern Arkansas...
    Elevated thunderstorms will be ongoing at the beginning of the
    period from north-central Texas to southern Arkansas to the north of
    a warm front. Isolated large hail is possible with these storms, but
    a more widespread threat is not expected during the morning. The
    warm front will advect northward quickly through the day and lead to
    moderate destabilization across the warm sector. A messy storm mode
    is expected along the warm front for much of the day with some
    marginal severe threat. The greatest severe weather threat should
    begin by mid-afternoon as height falls overspread the warm sector
    and slight mid-level cooling results in an uncapped warm sector.
    This should result in scattered supercell development within the
    open warm-sector by late afternoon. A strengthening low-level jet
    (40-45 knots) is expected to overspread the warm sector during this
    same timeframe. This may result in a brief window during the late
    afternoon to early evening where a few tornadoes (perhaps strong)
    could occur.

    A nocturnal wind/tornado threat may persist into the late
    evening/overnight period as rich low-level moisture will help to
    maintain an unstable boundary layer into the overnight period where cyclonically curved low-level hodographs will persist.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF LA/MS
    AND ADJACENT PARTS OF SOUTHEAST AR AND WESTERN/NORTHERN AL...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible on Friday from Louisiana into
    parts of the Mid-South and Southeast.

    ...East TX into the Lower MS Valley and Mid-South...
    In the wake of a departing mid/upper shortwave trough and surface
    low, a cold front is forecast to slow down by afternoon and perhaps
    become nearly stationary from near the ArkLaTex region to the
    Mid-South. As an upstream mid/upper trough approaches from the west, cyclogenesis is expected along this front, with the surface low
    expected to move east-northeastward toward the TN Valley by Saturday morning.

    Seasonably rich low-level moisture will be in place within the warm
    sector of this cyclone, and low-level and deep-layer shear will
    increase with time as the frontal wave develops. However, guidance
    continues to vary somewhat regarding the extent of phasing between
    the approaching shortwave trough across the southern Plains and a
    strong shortwave trough digging southeastward from the Canadian
    Prairies. There are also varying solutions regarding the coverage of
    early-day convection, and the extent to which it hampers warm-sector destabilization as low-level and deep-layer shear strengthens.

    Early-day storms within the modest warm-advection regime from east
    TX into the lower MS Valley could pose a low-probability threat of
    all severe hazards. An increase in the severe potential could evolve
    from late afternoon into the evening, as low-level and deep-layer
    shear begin to strengthen in response to the approaching trough.
    Organized clusters and a few supercells will be possible, with an
    attendant damaging-wind and tornado threat that may continue into
    late Friday night. However, if early-day convection becomes
    widespread with increasingly prominent outflow (as indicated by some
    00Z HREF members), the magnitude and north/east extent of the
    organized severe threat may be relatively limited. The greatest
    relative confidence in an organized severe threat is currently
    across parts of LA into central/southern MS, with a more conditional
    threat to the north and east of this area.
