    Mesoscale Discussion 0308
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

    Areas affected...far eastern portions of the OK/TX Panhandles into
    northwest OK

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 012207Z - 012330Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Conditional threat of severe storms will exist this
    evening across far eastern portions of the OK/TX Panhandles. If
    storms develop, all severe hazards will be possible. Area being
    monitored for possible watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...A moderately unstable airmass resides over western OK
    early this evening, where surface dewpoints from the mid 50s to low
    60s beneath midlevel lapse rates greater than 7.5 deg C/km were
    present. A surface dryline was draped across the eastern OK/TX
    Panhandles, with only modest confluence along this feature due to
    somewhat veered low level flow across far western OK. A better
    defined confluence axis exists further east over west-central OK
    along the western edge of higher dewpoints, but displaced from the
    dryline and on the margins of a stronger midlevel cap per 19z RAOB
    from OUN. Given this mismatch in surface features, and stronger
    forcing for ascent focused further north across the central Plains,
    greater uncertainty in convective initiation and evolution exists
    across the MCD area.

    Over the last 30 minutes or so, a cell has been noted on radar over
    Lipscomb County TX. Should this cell become rooted in the boundary
    layer, a severe threat will unfold as the storm tracks
    east-northeast toward Tornado Watch 59 across central KS. Any storms
    that can develop further south and track across northwest OK would
    pose a severe threat with all hazards possible given steep lapse
    rates, strong deep layer shear favoring supercells and an increasing
    low level jet this evening. Convective trends will be monitored for
    possible watch issuance.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0308
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1234 PM CDT Fri Apr 12 2019

    Areas affected...Parts of the central Carolinas into south central
    Virginia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 121734Z - 121930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...An environment at least marginally conducive to a few
    thunderstorms capable of producing localized, potentially damaging
    surface gusts may continue to evolve across the piedmont of North
    Carolina and adjacent areas through 4-5 PM EDT. Although the need
    for a watch is not anticipated, trends will be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms appear to be initiating along a
    confluence zone within the western periphery of prominent low-level
    ridging now centered off the Atlantic Coast. This appears focused
    near a 20-30 kt southerly 850 mb jet, in the presence of weak
    capping, aided by daytime heating of a seasonably moist boundary
    layer (mid/upper 60s+ surface dew points).

    Between now and 20-21Z, 30-35+ kt south-southwesterly deep layer
    mean flow will support a northeastward progression of storms across
    and northeast of the North Carolina piedmont vicinity. As
    mixed-layer CAPE increases in excess of 1000 J/kg, and low-level
    lapse rates continue to steepen with additional insolation,
    potential for downbursts accompanied by localized damaging surface
    gusts may slowly increase through mid to late afternoon.
