   Areas affected...Arklatex into Southeastern/Central Missouri

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 143...

   Valid 270114Z - 270315Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 143 continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat continues in WW143.

   DISCUSSION...A broken line of storms continues from Arklatex into
   central Missouri as with a history of reports of damaging wind up to
   50-65 mph. Intensity has come down within much of this line after
   loss of daytime heating. Surface objective analysis would suggest
   that MLCIN is increasing, though it is noted in surface observations
   that temperatures remain in the mid 70s northeast of Little Rock.
   Lightning activity within this portion of line also remains very
   productive. This portions of the line will maintain a damaging wind
   threat in the short term. 

   On the tail end of the line, surface objective analysis indicates
   that minimal surface-based buoyancy may be available. Storms across
   this region in northeastern Texas from Mount Pleasant, TX to
   Texarkana have maintained intensity but should generally weaken as
   heights rise and the airmass continues to become less favorable.
   Potential for damaging wind and hail will continue in the short term
   in this region.
