    Areas affected...Western OK...Northwest TX...Far South-central KS

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 89...91...

    Valid 150105Z - 150230Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 89, 91
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat for severe hail and wind continues across WW
    91, but a decreasing trend is expected this evening.

    DISCUSSION...Potentially severe thunderstorms are ongoing across
    portions of northwest OK, and also far southwest OK at 01Z. However,
    the cluster that earlier produced 65+ kt wind gusts around Childress
    into far southwest OK has weakened rapidly over the past 30 minutes,
    with outflow surging well ahead of the trailing convection. While
    strong instability was noted on the 00Z OUN sounding, weak midlevel
    flow and increasing SB CINH with time this evening should continue
    to result in a weakening trend with ongoing convection, though the
    strongest updrafts will remain capable of large hail and locally
    damaging wind in the short term. Downstream watch issuance or
    extension into central OK does not seem warranted at this time,
    though the decaying convective system may continue to produce
    locally gusty winds into mid/late evening.

    Further north, a left-moving supercell is approaching south-central
    KS at 01Z. A narrow corridor of strong instability (between a cold
    front to the north and outflow to the southeast) is in place
    downstream of this cell, and it will likely continue to pose a
    threat of very large hail as it moves northeast into south-central
    KS.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0420
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0601 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2019

    Areas affected...Parts of the Texas South Plain and northwest Texas
    into southwestern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 222301Z - 230100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorm development is possible
    across parts of the Texas South Plains into northwest Texas through
    9-11 PM CDT. Mostly marginally severe hail appears the primary
    hazard, but potential for gusty winds could increase by late
    evening.

    DISCUSSION...Models suggest that upper flow is becoming increasingly
    divergent across the Texas Panhandle and South Plains region, within
    the left exit region of a fairly strong cyclonic mid/upper jet
    nosing northeastward into/through the Texas Big Bend region. Recent thunderstorm initiation across the South Plains, west/northwest of
    Snyder, appears to be associated with a zone of lower/mid
    tropospheric warm advection. This is on the northwestern periphery
    of a broad plume of elevated mixed-layer air advecting northwest of
    the Rio Grande Valley, where mid-level inhibition is relatively weak
    and forecast to continue weakening in response to increasing
    large-scale ascent.

    Initial convection also appears to be occurring above/to the cool
    northwest side of a surface frontal zone which has surged southward
    through much of the Texas South Plains. However, sustained
    convergence along the frontal may support additional thunderstorm
    development, in the presence of modest mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-1500
    J/kg.

    Lower/mid tropospheric wind fields are expected to remain rather
    weak across this region, with only gradual strengthening of
    south-southwesterly deep layer mean flow from 20-30 kt through the
    evening associated with the northeastward progression of the upper
    jet. However, deep layer shear is becoming strong, and could
    gradually support an organizing cluster of thunderstorms near the
    front, south through southeast of Lubbock into the vicinity of
    Childress through 02-04Z. Mostly marginally severe hail may be the
    primary severe hazard into isolated stronger storms, but a
    consolidating, strengthening surface cold pool could gradually be
    accompanied by gusty surface winds by late evening.
