Mesoscale Discussion 0236

Areas affected...north central Texas through southeast OK
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 131604Z - 131700Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Storms developing late this morning might pose a risk for
mainly hail through mid day. Though a watch is possible, plans are
to hold off on a watch until the more substantial severe threat
evolves during the afternoon.
DISCUSSION...Morning radar trends indicated a few elevated storms
have shown transient reflectivity spikes over southeast OK and north
central TX. However, morning soundings with a strong inversion
present near 800 mb and fast storm motions suggest these storms are
still elevated above the strong cap with updrafts probably rooted
near 700 mb. Continued moistening of the layer near 700 mb along
with steep lapse rates may result in some increase in MUCAPE and
potential updraft strength during the next hour or two. Given very
steep mid-level lapse rates with 8.9 C/km in the 700-500 mb layer,
some storms might become capable of producing hail in the short
term.
With time, the initial leading band of deep ascent currently moving
through eastern ok and north central to northeast TX will gradually
erode the capping inversion, resulting in surface based storms with
greater severe potential. But this scenario will be addressed in a
separate meso discussion.
