Mesoscale Discussion 0461
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0234 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2019
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.
