    Mesoscale Discussion 0095
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0312 PM CST Mon Feb 11 2019

    Areas affected...Much of western Oklahoma and portions of central
    Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 112112Z - 112345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A few thunderstorms will move across the area this evening
    and pose a threat for severe hail for a few hours. However, the
    threat should remain isolated and short-lived enough to preclude a
    Watch.

    DISCUSSION...An area of surface low pressure over the Oklahoma and
    Texas panhandles is expected to consolidate and swing south and east
    over the area this afternoon and evening. Very strong forcing for
    ascent associated with a strong, compact vorticity maximum and the
    left-exit region of a mid-upper level jet has already contributed to thunderstorm development in the deeply-mixed, relatively dry air
    mass over the Texas panhandle.

    Farther east, although extensive multi-layer clouds have limited
    boundary-layer temperatures to the low-mid 50s, very cold mid-level temperatures overspreading the area and boundary-layer dewpoints in
    the upper 40s to lower 50s will allow for 250-750 J/kg of
    surface-based CAPE to develop in the next few hours. As the strong
    lift reaches western Oklahoma by about 22z, deeper convection with
    some organization is expected to develop and persist for a few hours
    in the 50-60 kt deep-layer shear, as supported by multiple HRRR
    runs. The steep lapse rates could support severe hail, especially
    in cells that show more persistent rotation. The strong dynamic lift
    may aid in the persistence of the thunderstorms into mid-evening
    into eastern Oklahoma, but the severe threat should diminish by then
    given the decreasing buoyancy from the deeper low-level stable layer
    over that area. Given the isolated and relatively short-lived
    nature of the threat, a severe thunderstorm Watch is not
    anticipated.
