    Mesoscale Discussion 0808
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0641 PM CDT Wed Jun 20 2018

    Areas affected...Northeast LA...Southwest AR

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 202341Z - 210045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A brief tornado or two is possible over the next hour or
    so across northeast LA and southwest AR.

    DISCUSSION...Despite calm surface winds, high theta-e airmass
    (characterized by temperatures in the low 80s and dewpoints in the
    mid 70s) is contributing to strong low-level CAPE (i.e. 0-3 km
    MLCAPE over 75 J per kg based on the latest mesoanalysis).
    Additionally, a narrow corridor of relatively confluent, slightly
    stronger low-level likely exist across northeast LA and southwest
    AR. This slightly enhanced low-level flow is likely contributing to
    a maximum in low-level shear and storm-relative helicity. Latest
    mesoanalysis estimates 0-1 km bulk shear is near 25 kt and 0-1 km
    SRH is over 150 m2/s2. This favorable low-level shear coupled with
    the very moist, tropical airmass and strong low-level instability
    may result in a brief tornado or two. Marginal and isolated nature
    of the threat precludes the need for a watch.
