    Mesoscale Discussion 0188
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0137 AM CDT Wed Mar 13 2019

    Areas affected...Western North TX...West-Central TX

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 130637Z - 130800Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Convective line moving through the TX Big County is
    expected to continue eastward into north-central TX. Threat for
    damaging wind gusts and a tornado or two will merit the issuance of
    another watch.

    DISCUSSION...A well-organized convective line extends from the
    southwest TX Panhandle to the Big Bend, with the central portion of
    this line moving through the TX Big Country into north-central TX.
    Generally eastward motion has been observed within this portion of
    the line, with a recent increase in forward speed noted as
    interaction with cells ahead of the line promotes
    forward-propagation.

    The downstream air mass is currently characterized by low-level
    stability but that should quickly change as strong forcing for
    ascent cools/moistens the low and mid-levels. Even so, only
    relatively modest instability is anticipated. In contrast, very
    strong low to mid-level flow will contribute to a strongly sheared
    environment with effective bulk shear greater than 60 kt and 0-1 km
    SRH from 300-500 m2/s2 anticipated.

    The already well-organized character of the ongoing line coupled
    with the sufficient instability and strong vertical shear will
    likely result in a continued severe threat. Primary severe threat is
    expected to be damaging wind gusts, although embedded/QLCS
    mesovortices are possible.
