Per new day 1 outlook, tornado threat should at least persist if not increase

ISOLATED TORNADIC SUPERCELLS HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED ACROSS PARTS OF   NORTHERN ARKANSAS, AND ONE ISOLATED SUSTAINED SUPERCELL IS STILL   ONGOING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS (SOUTH/SOUTHEAST OF FLIPPIN AT   0030Z). THERE APPEARS POTENTIAL FOR THIS STORM TO PERSIST, OR   ADDITIONAL ISOLATED SUPERCELLS TO FORM IN ADVANCE OF THE DEVELOPING   CLUSTER, AND SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE POPLAR BLUFF, MO AREA   AND MISSOURI BOOTHEEL THROUGH LATE EVENING. AS LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS   ENLARGE, IT APPEARS THAT TORNADIC POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE, OR   INCREASE.

0z LZK sounding shows a very tall mixed layer. The mid-level dry air with the EML might be the reason why cells close to Little Rock have struggled. 

Otherwise... insane shear.

We've seen this kind of tall mixed layer and dry EML before... 5/20/19... 45% tornado day that busted because the warm sector didn't produce. Similarities in the thermo profile are actually pretty impressive.

I could be wrong of course, but I think we might be seeing this a lot this year, especially in the Plains. With all the drought going on, it's gonna be really easy to get these pesky EMLs. I think we're in for yet another below average season over here in the plains. East of the Mississippi however, I think that will be a different story.

So we are in for a bunch of rain tomorrow around Dayton...so tired of it. It's still muddy from last month. Severe weather around 5am-noonish? Do I have this right?

Sounds right based off ILN‘S AFD. 
 

Spoiler

SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... Surface low pressure to eject northeast across the area Monday morning. Widespread rain with embedded thunder to shift north early. This initial convection is elevated -- so the potential for severe wind is limited. A favorable window for potential severe weather looks to nose into ILN/s southwest from 10Z thru the morning. Convective allowing models show a line segment with forecast soundings showing the inversion lower -- becoming more surface based. Damaging wind will be the main threat. Widespread pcpn to push east Monday morning with lingering showers drying from the west in the afternoon. West winds of 15-20 MPH in the post-frontal environment as cooler air filters in from the west. Rain may be heavy at times with the favored area for 2 inches of rain overnight into Monday will likely be near in between the I-71 and I-70 corridors. This rainfall will lead to rises and possible flooding on area rivers and streams. Temperatures will fall area-wide in the afternoon in the post- frontal environment. Surface high pressure to build into the area Monday night. Pcpn to end late in the day with clouds lingering. Temperatures to drop to lows from the upper 20s to the lower 30s.

0z HRRR... reflectivity and 0-1km SRH. Explains the slight risk/marginal risk for tornadoes up the Ohio River pretty well.

Interesting that we're looking at low-topped squalls on back-to-back nights.

Southern Missouri cell looking impressive. All the cells earlier in Arkansas collapsed or struggled to get going. Only a few got strong enough to go tornado warned. Lets see what that line moving into Arkansas does.Screenshot_20220306-212633.thumb.png.f49a55023ef9ba65593b6325a133c0c9.pngScreenshot_20220306-212712.thumb.png.119ebe48fc591c7a6fd7445ce097f23a.png
