    Areas affected...Northern Oklahoma into southern Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 191739Z - 192015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are expected to form across northern Oklahoma into
    southern Kansas, with very large hail and a tornado or two possible.
    A watch will likely be needed by 20-21Z.

    DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows a quasi-stationary boundary from
    northwest OK into southern MO, with a cold front just northwest from
    the TX Panhandle into east-central KS. Meanwhile, earlier storms
    have left behind an outflow boundary, close to the synoptic front
    along the KS/OK border.

    Visible satellite imagery shows heating is occurring in the
    post-outflow air mass, along with strong warming south of the main
    front where temperatures are rising into the mid 80s F. Although
    morning soundings showed a rather shallow moist layer from TX into
    OK, some deepening of the moist boundary layer is expected near the
    fronts, also aided by evapotranspiration. The presence of cold
    temperatures aloft combined with this warming air mass is resulting
    in strong instability with 700-500 mb lapse rates around 8.5 C/km.
    This suggests vigorous updrafts which will support very large hail.
    In addition, a tornado or two is possible in this region due to the
    locally backed surface winds near the modifying outflow, and aided
    by slight warm advection/lift atop this boundary.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0461

    Areas affected...Portions of the Texas panhandle and northwest Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 271934Z - 272130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered severe storms are expected this afternoon and
    evening with a threat for large hail and damaging winds. A severe
    thunderstorm watch is likely.

    DISCUSSION...19Z surface analysis shows a weak (~1007 mb) surface
    low located near Childress, TX with a cold front located just south
    of Childress extending northwest into northeast New Mexico. There
    are only minor temperature/moisture differences along this front,
    but surface observations show moderate surface convergence along the
    boundary. Therefore, this area will likely serve as a focus for
    convection later this afternoon. The 18Z AMA RAOB showed that
    significant destabilization is still needed to generate deeper
    convection, but the observed temperature/dewpoint vertical profile
    is very similar to RAP forecast guidance for 18Z, and the RAP
    continues to suggest surface heating and mid-level moisture
    increases will lead to modest buoyancy with limited inhibition by
    21Z. Farther southeast in the panhandle and northwest Texas where
    dewpoints are in the mid to upper 50s, MLCAPE is expected to be in
    the 1500 to 2000 J/kg range with 40 to 45 knots of effective shear.
    The isolated to scattered storm coverage in combination with the
    instability and shear will support supercells as the primary storm
    mode. Given the inverted-v soundings and very steep mid-level lapse
    rates (8.4 C/km measured by 18Z AMA sounding) large hail (some very
    large) and damaging winds will be the primary threats. A severe
    thunderstorm watch will likely be needed later this afternoon.
