The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 70
continues.
SUMMARY...The overall severe threat across WW 70 appears to be
decreasing. The need for a downstream watch remains unclear, but
does not appear likely in the short term.
DISCUSSION...Recent radar trends across central/north TX have shown
a general decrease in convective intensity with a loosely organized
line of thunderstorms. Better large-scale forcing for ascent
associated with an upper trough/low over the central High Plains
will remain displaced to the north of the lower MS Valley/Ozarks
regions today. The orientation of the squall line is also becoming
increasingly parallel to the mean mid-level southwesterly flow, with
a corresponding decrease in forward speed noted over the past
several hours. Still, modest diurnal heating beneath a
mid/upper-level cloud deck ahead of the ongoing line and plentiful
low-level moisture should result in a gradual increase in
instability this afternoon. A veering/strengthening wind profile
with resultant effective bulk shear values around 40-50 kt would
also support support some updraft organization. Regardless, the
overall severe threat appears relatively marginal given limited
low-level convergence and weak instability. The prospect for a
downstream watch appears unlikely in the short term, although
convective trends will be monitored through the afternoon.
