Mesoscale Discussion 0378
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0930 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2019
Areas affected...portions of north Texas and far south-central OK
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 78...
Valid 180230Z - 180400Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 78
continues.
SUMMARY...Damaging winds will be the primary threat with storms
tracking east/northeast across north Texas this evening, though some
hail potential will continue in the short term, especially near the
Red River.
DISCUSSION...Two areas of intense storms are currently tracking
east/northeast across WW 78. The northern area of storms near the
Red River have continued to produce large hail from 1 to 1.75 inches
and strong wind gusts this evening. Guidance suggests these storms
will continue to track along the Red River the next several hours.
Strong instability some increase in 850-700 mb flow is possible
based on observations from the VWP at FWS and SRX. Based on this,
severe potential may extend outside the current watch boundary by
around 04z as suggested by current track forecast.
Further south, another strong to severe line of storms from Erath to
Brown Counties in central TX also will continue moving into an
environment supportive of severe storms, similar to that further to
the north. Radar trends have not been as robust with respect to hail production, which is not unexpected given linear storm mode.
Damaging winds will continue to be the threat with this line of
convection toward midnight. As with storms near the Red River, the
forecast track currently brings storms to the edge of WW 78 by
around 04-05Z, and either an aerial extension or new watch may need
to be considered if intensity trends continue.
