.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 301 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025

Sunday night through next Saturday night:

Tonight-Monday afternoon:

Strong to severe storms are expected this evening into Monday
morning/noon. A cold front will continue to push into the ArkLaMiss
region this afternoon. Amply instability/moisture along with
increasing deep-layer shear/lapse rates will help convection to
reach severe limits. All hazards will be possible: damaging gusts
up to 70 mph, large hail (up to hen egg size), and tornadoes
(strong tornadoes will possible near Hamburg to Columbus and
northward). Have multiple ways the receive weather warnings as
this is an overnight event. In addition to severe weather, flash
flooding will be possible in areas that receive heavier rainfall
totals. HWO graphics for severe weather and flash flooding threats
continue to be advertised.

Monday night through next Saturday night:

Longwave trough/ridge pattern is expected to develop over the mid
week. A drying period will occur post-frontal passage but will be
short-lived as wet conditions return mid-week and through the
weekend. Embedded in the longwave pattern, a developing low near the
Central Plains/Mid-West along with trailing cold front will push
towards the southeast region. As a result, additional storms will be
possible Wednesday into Thursday. The aforementioned cold front is
expected to become stationary north of the CWA by late week into the
weekend, resulting in ongoing showers/t-storm chances. /SW/
