    Mesoscale Discussion 1538
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0347 PM CDT Sun Oct 07 2018

    Areas affected...southeast half of Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 072047Z - 072315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will continue to
    develop through the afternoon and evening. A brief tornado,
    marginally severe hail, or strong gust winds may be possible with
    some of the storms.

    DISCUSSION...Backed low-level flow across much of the region has
    lifted a warm front northwestward to around the I44 corridor. Along
    and south of the warm front, an increasingly unstable and weakly
    airmass is in place. Persistent warm-air advection/isentropic ascent
    has resulted in enough ascent for isolated thunderstorms to develop
    within the warm sector across south-central and southeast Oklahoma.
    Farther west, across western Oklahoma, the warm-air advection has
    resulted in a persistent precipitation shield that has retarded the
    northward advancement of the warm front.

    Given the backed near-surface flow, there is sufficient low-level
    veering of the wind field to support a brief/transient low-level
    rotation within any thunderstorm and possibly a brief tornado. The
    more likely area for a brief tornado will exist as any thunderstorm
    interacts with the warm front, where enough ambient low-level
    vorticity may exist to augment low-level rotation. Additionally,
    brief, strong gusty winds will be possible with the strongest
    thunderstorm cores.

    At this time, the lack of long-lived thunderstorm organization
    should result in the threat from any one thunderstorm to be too
    brief/isolated to warrant a watch.
