    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 072220Z - 072345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple of supercells may develop by early evening, with
    a threat of isolated hail and possibly a tornado or two.

    DISCUSSION...Cumulus has been gradually increasing late this
    afternoon from eastern AR into northern LA, in advance of a nearly
    stationary surface front, with recent attempts at initiation noted.
    Diurnal heating of a relatively moist airmass has resulted in MLCAPE
    increasing to 1000-1500 J/kg. With generally neutral large-scale
    ascent and only weak convergence near the surface boundary, storm
    coverage may remain rather isolated, but with favorable deep-layer
    shear in place, a couple of supercells could eventually evolve as
    storms slowly mature into early evening.=20

    With time, storms will tend to move northeastward out of the
    low-level moist axis, so the longevity of any severe threat is
    uncertain. However, some threat of isolated hail and locally gusty
    winds would accompany any supercells. Modestly favorable low-level
    shear/SRH (as noted from the KNQA VWP) could also support some
    tornado potential, if robust supercells can be sustained. While the
    threat may remain somewhat marginal, watch issuance is possible due
    to supercell potential.
