   Areas affected...Portions of central/eastern AR

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 71...

   Valid 032045Z - 032145Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 71
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Mainly an isolated strong/gusty wind threat continues
   across WW 71.

   DISCUSSION...A semi-organized line of thunderstorms will continue
   eastward across the remainder of WW 71 over the next several hours.
   Strong/gusty winds occasionally producing mainly tree damage should
   continue to be the main threat with this convection. Instability
   rapidly decreases with eastward extent into eastern AR as a drier
   airmass is present over this region. Therefore, the overall severe
   threat is expected to diminish later this afternoon/early evening as
   thunderstorms interact with an increasingly hostile thermodynamic
   environment.
