    Mesoscale Discussion 0237
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1239 PM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018

    Areas affected...north central Texas through eastern
    Oklahoma...southeast Kansas...southwest Missouri and northwest
    Arkansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 131739Z - 131945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe storms are expected to develop early to mid
    afternoon from north central Texas through east Oklahoma and
    southeast Kansas posing a risk for very large hail, damaging wind
    and a few tornadoes.

    DISCUSSION...Latest visible imagery shows boundary-layer cumulus
    increasing along sharpening dryline and dryline/cold front merger
    from southeast KS through central OK and north central TX. Cloud
    breaks and low-level theta-e advection is promoting destabilization,
    and objective analysis shows a corridor of 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE in
    warm sector. The atmosphere still appears capped by an inversion
    located around 800 mb associated with warm air at the base of the
    elevated mixed layer. However deep ascent with a lead shortwave
    trough continues to act on this layer, and should eventually erode
    the inversion such that surface-based storms will initiate along the
    dryline during the next couple hours. The 18Z Fort Worth RAOB showed substantial cooling in the capping layer compared to the 12Z. While
    deep-layer shear is very strong (50-55 kt), VWP data continues to
    indicate veer-back-veer characteristics, possibly due to the effects
    of the lead shortwave trough. Low-level hodographs are initially
    large with current 0-1 km storm relative helicity around 250+ m2/s2.
    However, some decrease in 0-1 km hodograph size should occur as the
    low-level jet shifts east. Nevertheless, the overall environment is
    supportive of supercells and bowing segments capable of very large
    hail, damaging wind and a few tornadoes this afternoon.

    Areas affected...northeast Texas...southwest Arkansas...far
    southeast Oklahoma into northwest Louisiana

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 33...

    Valid 250311Z - 250515Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 33
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Large hail remains possible mainly over southern parts of
    the watch from northeast Texas toward the ArkLaTex.

    DISCUSSION...Storm trends have been down recently with the loss of
    heating, but widely-scattered hail cores remain. The most unstable
    air currently resides over TX, with southwesterly flow aloft feeding
    somewhat elevated storms into AR where temperatures are cooler.

    Given the influence of a low-amplitude shortwave trough approaching
    the area, some redevelopment is expected through about 09Z. Cells
    were beginning to increase again near the Red River as of 03Z, north
    of the wind shift. This boundary and/or outflows from existing
    storms will favor redevelopment. Wind profiles will continue to
    favor east-southeastward moving cells capable of hail, and the
    severe threat may eventually spread into areas just south and east
    of the current watch.
