    Mesoscale Discussion 0503

    Areas affected...the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles...far northwestern Oklahoma...and far southwestern Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 232247Z - 240045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms across the northern Texas Panhandle and vicinity
    are showing signs of upscale growth, which could result in a focused
    corridor of marginally severe hail/wind instances. Convective
    trends will be monitored for a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms were gradually increasing in coverage
    along a WSW-ENE axis extending from Hartley to Hansford Counties in
    the northern Texas Panhandle. The pre-convective environment
    supporting these storms was characterized by moderate instability
    (MUCAPE values around 1500-2500 J/kg) and steep low-level lapse
    rates, but meager low-level shear profiles. As such - convection
    has been primarily outflow dominant, and some concern exists that
    storms across the region will further grow upscale and propagate
    E/ESE across the remainder of the Panhandles and vicinity over the
    next couple of hours. If these storms can organize, a risk for
    marginally severe hail and wind gusts will likely focus along/near
    the leading edge of the activity. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    issuance may not completely be ruled out for this scenario, and
    convective trends are being monitored.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0503
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0228 PM CDT Thu May 02 2019

    Areas affected...Portions of northern and northeast
    Virginia...Washington D.C....eastern Maryland

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 021928Z - 022130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Current multicellular clusters, along with anticipated
    downstream development, pose an isolated damaging wind threat
    through the mid-late afternoon hours. The isolated extent of the
    severe threat precludes a WW issuance at this time.

    DISCUSSION...Convective development (including multicellular
    clusters), is underway across the easternmost fringes of the higher
    terrain associated with the Appalachians, along the nose of a
    surface thermal ridge. Aloft, large scale mid-level ridging is in
    place, suggesting that convective development has mainly been
    supported by vigorous boundary layer mixing (with up to 8.5 C/km
    sfc-3km AGL lapse rates present as suggested by 19Z RAP forecast
    soundings), and orographic lift.

    Adequate buoyancy (i.e. 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE) and effective bulk
    shear (30-40 knots of mainly speed shear in the 850-700 mb layer) is
    in place. Nonetheless, the lack of stronger synoptic deep-layer
    ascent, directional deep-layer shear, and negligible low-level
    shear, all suggest that storms should be organized for only brief
    periods of time, long enough to perhaps support water loaded
    downdrafts capably of producing damaging wind gusts. Given the
    brevity and isolated nature of the severe threat, a WW issuance is
    not anticipated at this time.
