    Areas affected...extreme southeast Oklahoma into southern Arkansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 122155Z - 122300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple of damaging gusts are possible with the stronger
    downbursts, especially if storms can continue to merge. However, the
    severe threat should remain sparse, with a Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    issuance not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple pulse cells and multicells have intensified
    over the past few hours, and are beginning to show signs of possible
    larger scale merging. If this occurs, ample evaporative cooling
    potential exists with cold pool mergers given a well-mixed boundary
    layer, characterized by 20-30 F T/Td spreads and over 1500 J/kg
    DCAPE. Damaging gusts may occur with the stronger downbursts and at
    the intersections of thunderstorm outflow boundaries. Nonetheless,
    the severe threat should remain isolated at best, and a Severe
    Thunderstorm Watch issuance is not expected.
