    Mesoscale Discussion 1288
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0615 PM CDT Tue Aug 14 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of central Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 142315Z - 150045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Potential exists for isolated large hail, strong wind
    gusts, and a brief tornado across central Oklahoma through
    approximately 03Z. Watch issuance appears unlikely at present,
    though.

    DISCUSSION...An expanding cluster of storms, aided by
    moist/confluent southerly boundary-layer flow, is maintaining some
    severe threat across central Oklahoma currently. KTLX and TOKC data
    indicate occasional supercellular structures embedded within this
    cluster. Although mid-level lapse rates are modest, rich low-level
    theta-e is yielding sufficient buoyancy in the hail-growth zone for
    a brief/isolated large hail threat. Additionally, backed surface
    winds amidst a very moist boundary-layer environment may support
    occasional low-level mesocyclones, which would enhance the threat
    for a few stronger gusts and perhaps a brief tornado this evening.
    Still, modest mid/upper flow and storm development largely parallel
    to deep-layer shear vectors should limit the threat enough to
    preclude watch issuance.
