DISCUSSION...Elevated showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue across northwest/north-central LA and southern/east-central AR for the next several hours as strong warm-air advection persists across the front. Strong and deep mid to upper-level southwesterly winds are also expected to persist during this time, contributing to moderate-strong vertical shear and the potential for a few rotating updrafts capable of marginally severe hail. Overall severe coverage is expected to be isolated, precluding the need for a watch. Even so, convective trends are being monitored closely. ..Mosier/Grams.. 12/16/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...MEG...JAN...LZK...SHV...
