Mesoscale Discussion 0308
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0507 PM CDT Tue May 01 2018
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.
