    Areas affected...east-central Arkansas into northwestern Mississippi

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 283...

    Valid 220658Z - 220800Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 283 continues.

    SUMMARY...As isolated convection continues to gradually decrease in
    intensity, new WW is not anticipated downstream of the most
    vigorous, eastern Arkansas storms.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows that the strongest storm, which
    earlier exhibited supercell characteristics, continuing to gradually
    decrease in intensity as it nears eastern fringes of Tornado Watch
    283. While a narrow axis of mixed-layer CAPE around 1000 J/kg
    exists immediately along the Mississippi River, CAPE just to the
    east of the river diminishes rapidly, while at the same time capping
    increases with eastward extent.=20

    Given these factors, convective intensity is expected to continue to
    gradually diminish. While there are hints in the latest HRRR runs
    that weak convection developing westward as far west as southeastern
    Oklahoma could locally/gradually intensify, it appears at this time
    that risk will be limited/isolated, and thus not requiring WW
    consideration. As such, the current watch likely to be left to
    expire at 22/08Z.
