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.
