    Mesoscale Discussion 0161
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1139 PM CST Fri Mar 08 2019

    Areas affected...West-central Texas...North-central Texas...Southern
    Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 090539Z - 090815Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A threat for isolated large hail and damaging wind gusts
    will be possible over the next few hours from west-central Texas and
    central Texas northward into southern Oklahoma. The severe threat
    should gradually increase tonight along this corridor where weather
    watch issuance will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...Latest water vapor imagery shows an upper-level trough
    approaching the southern Rockies with a band of mid-level moisture
    extending northeastward across much of Texas. At the surface, a
    synoptic-scale low is analyzed in southeast Colorado with a detached
    moist sector located across the southeastern two-thirds of Texas. A
    pocket of moderate instability is analyzed by the RAP over
    north-central Texas where MLCAPE is estimated in the 1500 to 2000
    J/Kg range. A line of convection has recently developed along the
    western edge of the stronger instability to the northeast of San
    Angelo. This line will be supported by large-scale ascent ahead of
    the approaching upper-level trough and strong deep-layer shear,
    moving eastward into increasing instability over the next few hours.
    In addition, the partial 0600Z sounding from Fort Worth shows a very
    steep lapse rate in the mid-levels of 9.0 C/Km. This will aid
    upscale growth, enabling thunderstorms to gradually organize and
    obtain a severe threat with large hail possible. A potential for
    strong wind gusts may also develop later tonight as convection moves
    into the instability max across north-central Texas.
