    Mesoscale Discussion 0260
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0655 PM CDT Sat Apr 14 2018

    Areas affected...Western into central New York State

    Concerning...Freezing rain

    Valid 142355Z - 150500Z

    SUMMARY...A long-duration freezing rain event is underway across the
    region. Rates above 0.05 inch per hour are possible over the next
    3-6 hours.

    DISCUSSION...Areas of light to moderate rainfall were migrating
    eastward and entering western portions of the discussion area over
    the past hour. Recent observations and point forecast soundings
    indicate an extensive warm layer around 800-850 mb (temps around 5-8
    C) atop a sub-freezing near-surface airmass with surface
    temperatures around 25-32F. Freezing rain should be the dominant
    precipitation type, with sleet mixing in northern portions of the
    discussion area where surface temperatures are a bit colder.
    Additionally, persistent isentropic ascent across the region (tied
    to an axis of 20-30 kt southerly 850 mb flow) will aid in sustained
    development of light to moderate precipitation across the discussion
    area over the next 3-6 hours and possibly beyond. This long
    duration of light to moderate precipitation will likely result in
    freezing rain accumulations exceeding one-tenth of an inch in the
    discussion area through tonight.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0260
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0710 PM CDT Fri Apr 05 2019

    Areas affected...portions of West Texas...and the Texas South
    Plains/Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 060010Z - 060215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Potential for hail and locally gusty/damaging winds will
    exist with isolated storms now initiating over parts of western
    Texas. WW may be needed this evening.

    DISCUSSION...What is expected to be an initial round of
    thunderstorms is now developing across portions of western Texas, in
    a relatively dry, marginally unstable environment indicated by
    latest objective analysis. The convection is initiating on the
    Mexican side of the Texas Big Bend area, and over the Permian Basin,
    near a dryline, and farther north into the South Plains region
    near/north of a pseudo northwest-to-southeast warm front.

    Despite modest CAPE (mixed-layer CAPE on the order of 500 J/kg),
    deep-layer shear is sufficient for mid-level rotation, mainly due to
    relatively strong southwesterly flow at mid levels. As lapse rates
    gradually steepen aloft with the approach of the upper system, hail
    will be a possibility with a few of the strongest cells. Meanwhile,
    the fairly dry sub-cloud boundary layer may support evaporatively
    driven gusts capable of producing local wind damage. The need for a
    WW in the short term remains questionable, and will be based on
    short-term evaluation of the evolution/coverage of stronger
    convection. Additional convection expected to develop overnight may
    require watch issuance, if earlier short-term convective trends do
    not.
