    Mesoscale Discussion 0525

    Areas affected...TX Hill Country

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 260153Z - 260300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Large hail and damaging wind gusts will continue to be a
    threat with this storm as it continues into the TX Hill Country.

    DISCUSSION...Discrete supercell continues to maraud southwestward
    into the TX Hill Country. This storm has had a history of producing
    very large hail (i.e. softball size around 0020Z near Brownwood) and
    strong wind gusts (i.e. measured gust of 48 kt at BWD ASOS and
    estimated 65 mph in town). Large amounts of small hail have also
    been reported. Despite indications previously that the storm had
    become outflow dominant, recent radar signatures of the storm
    suggest it has once again developed a favorable inflow/outflow
    structure. Also of note, a localized area of moisture convergence
    may result in additional intensification with the resulting
    enhancement of vertical vorticity contributing to a brief increase
    in tornado potential.

    In general, the onset of nocturnal cooling should result in the
    downstream airmass becoming increasingly hostile to convection.
    However, given the well-developed nature of the storm and the
    presence of steep mid-level lapse rates (sampled well by the MAF and
    DRT 00Z soundings), the storm will likely persist for the next 2-3
    hours. Large hail is currently the primary severe threat but
    anticipated linear transition will result in a greater potential for
    strong wind gusts.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0525
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0213 AM CDT Sat May 04 2019

    Areas affected...extreme southeast TX...southwest LA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 040713Z - 040815Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Localized strong gusts are possible but the
    coverage/intensity for severe/damaging gusts is uncertain. The
    greatest risk for damaging gusts will accompany any
    longer-lived/stronger mesovortices and surging bowing segments as
    the squall line moves east into the lower Sabine Valley.

    DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows a north-south squall line over
    southeast TX extending into the western Gulf of Mexico. The airmass
    downstream of this activity is moist/unstable with around 1000-1500
    J/kg MLCAPE when modifying the 00z LCH raob. The KLCH VAD shows
    relatively weak low-level winds beneath 35-40kt southwesterly 500mb
    flow. Instrument measured gusts during the past 1-2 hours have
    remained generally at or below 35kt, suggesting any risk for
    damaging winds has been highly localized over southeast TX. The
    expectation is the squall line will continue to move to the east
    across the northwest Gulf Coast as a series of smaller-scale MCVs
    associated with the squall line, move east towards the Sabine river
    overnight.

    In the near term, a persistent weak supercell will probably continue
    to episodically intensify/weaken east of Lake Charles. Although a
    brief/weak tornado cannot be ruled out, the weak low-level flow will
    tend to limit the tornado risk. However, a localized stronger gust
    may accompany the area near the mesocyclone.
