    Mesoscale Discussion 0322
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0714 PM CDT Wed May 02 2018

    Areas affected...Southeast KS...Central/Eastern OK

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 030014Z - 030215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Wind damage and tornado threat is expected to continue
    downstream of the ongoing Tornado Watches and an additional watch
    will be needed across eastern OK and possibly southeast KS.

    DISCUSSION...Airmass across eastern OK is characterized by
    temperatures in the upper 70s/low 80s with dewpoints in the upper
    60s to low 70s. Surface winds are southeasterly at 10-20 kt with 3
    km winds (from the INX VAD) southwesterly at 30-35 kt. Mid-level
    winds are a bit stronger, reaching 50 kt by 6 km. Low-level flow is
    expected to increase during the next several hours as the low-level
    jet strengthens, lengthening the low-level hodographs and
    strengthening low-level shear. Nocturnal cooling will likely result
    in weak surface-based convective inhibition but steep mid-level
    lapse rates will remain in place, maintaining strong instability.

    Consequently, this airmass supports continued strong to severe
    storms as the upstream convection moves into the area. Several
    distinct areas of convection are currently upstream with the
    discrete cell near END likely reaching the edge of Tornado Watch 62
    by 01Z. Additionally, convection across south-central KS has
    recently increased its forward speed and will likely reach the edge
    of Tornado Watch 61 around 01Z. Storms farther south across
    south-central OK may have a bit more time before reaching the
    eastern edge of Tornado Watch 62, but an increase in forward speed
    is anticipated with this activity as well.

    Given the strengthening low-level wind fields and the organized
    nature of the convective lines (one in south-central KS and the
    other over southwest OK) suggests the severe threat will persist
    downstream of Tornado Watches 61 and 62, meriting a new downstream
    watch.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0322
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1253 PM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019

    Areas affected...Northeast Louisiana into southwest/west central
    Mississippi

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 131753Z - 132000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to continue to initiate across
    the region through the afternoon. Some of these may be accompanied
    by a risk for severe hail through mid afternoon, before the
    potential for tornadoes increases closer to 3-4 PM CDT, when the
    issuance of a watch currently appears most likely.

    DISCUSSION...Vigorous thunderstorm development, largely supported by strengthening low-level warm advection above/to the cool side of a
    northward advancing surface front, is now underway as far east as
    the Monroe LA vicinity, where a 4-5 mb 2 hour surface pressure fall
    maximum has spread within the last hour. In the presence of
    moderately large CAPE and strong cloud-bearing layer shear, this
    activity may continue to pose a severe hail risk through mid
    afternoon.

    Gradually, as the front progresses northward, it appears that a
    warming and moistening boundary layer (including surface dew points
    increasing to near 70f) may become supportive of intensifying
    boundary-layer based storm development closer to the 21-22Z time.
    Models suggest that this will also coincide with enlarging low-level
    hodographs beneath an 850 mb jet strengthening to 50+ kt, which is
    expected to support increasing potential for tornadoes, a few of
    which may become strong.
