    Areas affected...Northeast TX/Northwest LA into central/northern AR

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 113...

    Valid 042233Z - 050000Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 113 continues.

    SUMMARY...Tornado potential, including a strong (EF2+) tornado risk,
    will be maximized through early evening across the ArkLaTex,
    especially across far northeast Texas into southwest Arkansas, while
    also increasing across north-central Arkansas. Tornado Watch 113
    continues until 9pm CDT/02z.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple intense supercells are ongoing at 525pm
    CDT/2225z across far northeast Texas and extreme southeast
    Oklahoma/far southwest Arkansas, including a particularly intense
    supercell with prior tornadic history in Upshur County about 25
    miles north of Longview. While the storm mode is complex, the
    environment remains highly favorable for tornadoes, potentially
    including a strong tornado risk amidst 150-200 m2/s2 0-1km SRH and
    lower 70s F dewpoints with T/Td spreads of 10-15F.

    Farther north, semi-discrete supercells have intensified across
    north-central Arkansas, and this trend is likely to continue with an
    increasing tornado potential across this region. This zone will be
    increasingly influenced by a pronounced early-evening strengthening
    of the low-level jet, with current surface observations of
    2.0-3.5mb/2-hourly pressure falls and dewpoints having recently
    increased several degrees.
