Severe WX December 10 & 11, 2021 Severe Threat

Too bad we still have no power here and my netbook on battery power is just barely fast enough to run GetNEXRAD without crashing.

edit: Power is back on and apparently the reason it was out is because someone crashed into one of the nearby power poles.

New MD out concerning increase in storm coverage in E AR and surrounding areas.
 
Were any mesoscale models showing supercell development as far west as Texas? Might have to watch those storms NE of Dallas further down the road.

SPC issued a MD for that area. Watch possible.

The 17z run of the HRRR model is the last run that depicted what is occurring right now correctly. The area northeast of Little Rock is of most interest as it has been indicated that the cluster will continue tracking northeast into maturity.
 
Here's the 20z Convective Outlook:

Day 1 Convective Outlook AMEND 2
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0508 PM CST Fri Dec 10 2021

Valid 110100Z - 111200Z

...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING
INTO TONIGHT FROM NORTHEAST AR/SOUTHEAST MO INTO WESTERN TN/KY AND
SOUTHERN IL...

AMENDED TO INCREASE SEVERE PROBABILITIES IN NORTHEAST TEXAS AND
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA

...SUMMARY...
A few strong tornadoes, damaging gusts, and large hail are all
expected beginning this evening across Arkansas and Missouri, with
the greatest tornado threat close to the confluence of the
Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. The damaging wind and tornado threat
will persist overnight while spreading eastward into the Tennessee
Valley and northeastward across the Ohio Valley overnight.

Northeast Texas: Isolated thunderstorms are developing a bit farther
west across northeast Texas than earlier anticipated. With ample
moisture/instability across this region ahead of the front will
increase severe probabilities across this region.

The previous forecast appears to be on track, and little change is
needed at 20Z.

At 19Z, a dryline was located near the I-35 corridor from north TX
into OK, with gradual warming and destabilization noted eastward
into AR. Upwards of 1500 J/kg MLCAPE is already in place there, with
further warming along with dewpoints holding in the upper 60s F.
While capping currently exists over most areas, the deepening moist
boundary layer is forecast become uncapped prior to 00Z over AR, and
this will support possible supercell development with tornado threat
evolving east-northeastward into western KY/TN through the evening.
Otherwise, expanding storm coverage is likely around 03Z along/ahead
of the cold front as large scale lift increases across the MS and OH
Valleys, with very strong shear favoring tornadoes, possibly strong.


For more information on the AR and southeast MO area, see mesoscale
discussion 1978.

Kind of unusual to see an update MD for a watch less than 10 minutes after the watch goes out...
