Mesoscale Discussion 1603

Areas affected...the Big Bend...Edwards Plateau...and Hill Country
of Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 312232Z - 010100Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Storms will continue/develop from the Big Bend eastward
across the Edwards Plateau and into the Hill Country of Texas
through the evening. Hail is the primary threat, but strong wind
gusts are also possible.

DISCUSSION...A shortwave upper-level trough is driving southeast
across the southern Plains/Texas this evening spreading ascent over
most of Texas and eastward into Arkansas/Louisiana. An associated
cold front is driving southeastward across Texas stretching from MRF
to EDC and continuing northeastward. Over the Big Bend region
upper-level forcing has helped generate storms in a marginally
buoyant environment (250-750 J/kg of MLCAPE), but with moderate
shear present (effective bulk shear of 40-55 knots). Latest CAMs
guidance forecasts a broken line of storms with UH tracks moving
eastward through the evening even as the cold front pushes southward
likely undercutting this line of storms. However, it is likely the
upper-level forcing and modest buoyancy aloft will be sufficient to continue/produce storms capable of severe hail and possibly strong
wind gusts.

Farther to the east in the Hill Country/vicinity to the west/south
of the WW416, storms are beginning to develop along/ahead of the
cold front. A few of these storms are likely to become severe as
they develop within 1000-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE and effective bulk
shear of 40-50 knots. Once again, severe hail will be the primary
threat, but strong winds gusts and a brief tornado are also possible
with the strongest, surface-based storms. A watch issuance is
possible, but there is uncertainty regarding severe storm coverage
across the MD area.
