    Mesoscale Discussion 0661

    Areas affected...Portions of Oklahoma and north Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 071342Z - 071545Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A cluster of strong to briefly severe storms is expected
    to progress south/southeast towards the Red River through this
    afternoon. Isolated gusty, damaging winds and possibly a marginally
    severe hail report or two may occur. Trends will be monitored, but
    watch issuance is not currently anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Current radar mosaic data illustrate a cluster of
    thunderstorms over central Oklahoma this morning, and the 12Z OUN
    sounding suggests a modest 850mb low-level jet (LLJ) and related
    warm advection are sustaining this complex. Through the morning
    hours, weak mean convective layer flow and the south/southwesterly
    LLJ should encourage continued south-southeast movement of the
    complex. KTLX Z/ZDR data confirm that new updrafts are generally
    being focused along the southern portion of the complex.

    The OUN observed sounding sampled steep mid-level lapse rates, which
    will enable robust updraft acceleration. However, weak mid-level
    flow will likely limit overall organization. Subsequently, the hail
    threat should be isolated/sparse at most, especially considering the
    amount of melting likely occurring below 10K ft. The damaging wind
    threat may be slightly greater, owing to sustained southward
    propagation and the 700-500mb EML noted in the sounding.
    Nonetheless, the severe threat should be limited enough to preclude
    watch issuance as the cluster tracks towards the Red River through
    mid-day.
