Areas affected...portions of central TX
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 132149Z - 140015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are forecast to
develop late this afternoon or during the evening. The timing of
storm development is uncertain along the dryline. A severe
thunderstorm watch will probably be needed once sustained convective development is achieved.
DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery shows an agitated cumulus
field located in the vicinity of the dryline. The airmass east of
the dryline is strongly unstable with 3000 J/kg MLCAPE and featuring
surface dewpoints in the middle 60s degrees F west to 70 F east of
I-35. The KGRK VAD shows 15-20 kt flow in the lowest 3 km AGL. The
low-level hodograph will remain meager going forward in time as the
southern extension of the LLJ shifts northeast into the Ark-La-Tex
by early evening. Nonetheless, steep H7-H5 lapse rates and 50 kt
deep-layer shear will support storm organization once storms
develop, including the threat for a few of the stronger updrafts to
become supercellular and pose a large hail and localized severe gust
risk.
Short-term model guidance suggests a couple of storms may arise from
the towering cumulus as the dryline circulation is maximized this
afternoon (22-00Z). It appears another period of thunderstorm
development may occur later this evening (02-04Z) as mid-level
forcing for ascent increases in conjunction with the Pacific Front
sweeping east across TX.
