    Mesoscale Discussion 1528
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0351 PM CDT Fri Oct 05 2018

    Areas affected...Texas Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 052051Z - 052315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered strong to severe storms are expected to
    gradually increase in coverage through the rest of the afternoon.
    Gusty winds and large hail will be the main threats. Convective
    trends are being monitored for a potential WW issuance.

    DISCUSSION...A cumulus field has recently developed ahead of a lee trough/dryline, in a moist, moderately unstable environment (with
    1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE noted across the discussion area). Convective
    initiation has recently taken place across Bailey County, TX, and
    more storms are expected to develop with continued strong surface
    heating and approaching deep-layer ascent associated with a
    shortwave trough approaching from the west. Deep-layer shear is
    expected to strengthen later this afternoon/evening, and at least
    some storm organization is expected. At least marginally severe hail
    may occur with the stronger cells given forecast 6.5-7.0 C/km
    mid-level lapse rates. Damaging wind gust will also be possible,
    particularly with wet downbursts in the cores of the stronger
    storms, and where cold pools may congeal, leading to upscale
    convective growth.

    Still, the lower magnitudes of forecast deep-layer shear (around
    20-30 knots in the sfc-6 km layer) suggest that severe coverage will
    be modest in nature. Convective trends are being monitored for a
    potential WW issuance.
