    Mesoscale Discussion 1287
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0335 PM CDT Tue Aug 14 2018

    Areas affected...Eastern Texas Panhandle...Western into Central
    Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 142035Z - 142300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated severe thunderstorms possible over the next
    several hours. Storms may produce isolated severe wind gusts in
    addition to large hail. A WW issuance is currently not anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorms have recently developed in the
    northeast Texas Panhandle into far northwest Oklahoma along a
    boundary embedded within a broader zone of confluence. In addition,
    a strong storm exhibiting transient supercell characteristics was
    located along the McClain/Cleveland County Oklahoma border. These
    storms are progressing across a moderately unstable airmass which
    has recently undergone recovery from earlier precipitation via
    strong surface heating. MLCAPE values of 2000-2500 J/Kg are common
    across much of the discussion area, and recent TLX profiler data
    suggests modest low-level directional shear (150 m2/s2 SRH) is
    present. Still, with modest mid and low-level lapse rates (i.e 6
    C/km), and negligible speed shear throughout the troposphere
    characterizing the ambient atmosphere, any severe threat that occurs
    is expected to be brief. The moderate instability environment
    suggests that the more organized/long-lived updrafts may pose a
    threat for large hail and gusty winds, though some brief instances
    of low-level rotation may be observed with the strongest of storms
    given the modest low-level directional shear.

    Given the expected isolated nature of the severe threat, a WW
    issuance is not expected at this time.
