    Mesoscale Discussion 1582
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0605 PM CDT Sun Oct 14 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of central and east TX

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 142305Z - 150100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated large hail and strong to locally damaging wind
    threat may exist this evening. Watch issuance is possible.

    DISCUSSION...A supercell that developed earlier this afternoon
    between Abilene and San Angelo, TX has produced isolated large hail
    and wind damage over the past two hours as it moved northeastward
    while slowly weakening. A sharp surface cold front will continue
    moving southward this evening across central and east TX, and
    additional convective development will probably occur along/near the
    front given enhanced low-level convergence. With strong mid and
    upper-level southwesterly winds present over this region,
    thunderstorms will have a tendency to move northeastward and be
    undercut by the cold front. Even so, the shallow nature of the front
    coupled with sufficient elevated instability should allow for
    continued storm maintenance and intensity for a couple of hours
    after cold front passage at any particular location. Effective bulk
    shear of 50-60+ kt should initially favor supercell structures, with
    an associated risk for large hail given the unidirectional
    mid/upper-level flow. Some strong/gusty winds may also occur with
    any development along or just ahead of the front where storms would
    be more likely to be surface based. There will likely be a tendency
    for storms to grow upscale later this evening into a line or several
    clusters given the linear low-level forcing of the front. The need
    for a watch remains unclear, but one may be needed depending on
    convective trends.
