SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1259 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024
Valid 281200Z - 291200Z
...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTHWEST
INTO NORTH/CENTRAL TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Widespread strong to severe storms are expected over much of Texas
later today, with potential for significant damaging wind and areas
of very large hail.
...Southern Plains...
Rich low-level moisture and strong to extreme instability (MLCAPE of
3000-5000 J/kg) will be in place at the start of the forecast period
across much of Texas, to the south of a surface front draped from
northwest into east TX, and to the east of a dryline across
southwest TX. Strong elevated buoyancy will extend north of the
boundary into parts of OK.
Elevated convection will likely be ongoing this morning, mainly
near/north of the front. Large hail and locally gusty winds will be
possible with these elevated storms. Evolution of the morning
convection will be crucial in determining the magnitude and location
of the greatest severe threat later in the day. It is possible that
morning storms will grow upscale and move southeastward along the
instability gradient, which would push the outflow-reinforced front
southward through the day. Any upscale growth during the morning
could result in an MCS posing a risk of severe wind gusts
potentially into parts of northeast TX and northwest LA.
If outflow does not become too expansive during the morning, then
intense storm development will be possible this afternoon in the
vicinity of the dryline across west TX. While midlevel flow will not
be very strong, substantial veering with height will support
sufficient effective shear for supercell development. Very large
hail (greater than 2 inches in diameter) and localized severe gusts
could accompany any supercell. Some tornado threat could also
evolve, especially near the dryline/front intersection, as well as
with any supercell that survives into the richer low-level moisture
east of the dryline. A southeastward-moving MCS could evolve out of
initial supercell development, which would pose a threat of very
damaging wind gusts (potentially in excess of 80 mph) if the
initially very favorable thermodynamic environment is not disrupted
by early-day outflow.
If convective outflow surges across much of TX relatively early in
the day, then potential for a longer-lived and organized MCS will be
reduced. However, even in this scenario, a few intense
cells/clusters capable of very large hail and significant severe
gusts will still be possible. At this time, the area of greatest
confidence in higher-end severe potential lies roughly from the TX
Big Country region into parts of central/north TX. The southeastward
and westward extent of the greater threat will be determined in part
by the evolution of the outflow-reinforced front through the day.
...Eastern OR into northern ID into western MT...
A strong mid/upper-level shortwave trough will move eastward across
the Pacific Northwest later today into tonight. While moisture will
be limited ahead of this system, steep low/midlevel lapse rates will
support modest destabilization, and scattered thunderstorm
development will be possible this afternoon into the evening.
Stronger flow aloft will be displaced westward of storm development,
but deep-layer shear may still be sufficient to support a few
stronger cells/clusters capable of isolated severe gusts and perhaps
some hail.
...Southern WI into Northern IL/IN...
A few strong storms will be possible this afternoon into the early
evening from southern WI into parts of northern IL/IN. While
low-level moisture and deep-layer shear will generally be modest,
cold temperatures aloft will support MLCAPE rising into the 500-1000
J/kg range. A couple stronger multicells could become capable of
producing hail. Strong wind gusts could also accompany the strongest
storms, especially where greater pre-storm heating can occur through
the day.

MD 1029 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 338... FOR MIDDLE/LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY...SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 1029

1100 PM CDT Mon May 27 2024
Areas affected...Middle/Lower Rio Grande Valley...South Central
Texas
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 338...
Valid 280400Z - 280500Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 338
continues.
SUMMARY...The threat for large hail and damaging gusts continues
across the Middle Rio Grande Valley/south central Texas.
DISCUSSION...Outflow-dominant thunderstorm that moved across deep
south Texas has left rain-cooled air in its wake, with temperatures
now generally in the 70s. This cooling and resultant convective
inhibition will likely preclude the development of surface-based
thunderstorm for the rest of the evening. However, ample mid-level
moisture and steep mid-level lapse rates remain in place over the
region, supportive of at least some potential for elevated
thunderstorms. Isolated hail could occur with the strongest of these
elevated storms.
Farther north into Webb and Zapata Counties, an interesting
convective evolution is underway with the storm just across the
border surging eastward along the outflow from the storms farther
south. Strong buoyancy and shear remains in place, and large hail
and strong gusts will be possible with this storm for at least the
next hour. Some in-situ development has also occurred near LRD amid
strong low-level moisture convergence. Large hail and strong gusts
are possible with this storm as well.

0928 PM CDT Mon May 27 2024
Areas affected...North Texas
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 336...
Valid 280228Z - 280400Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 336
continues.
SUMMARY...Large hail and damaging gusts remain possible with the
thunderstorms ongoing over north Texas. Convective trends will be
monitored to determine if a local extension in time of the ongoing
watch is needed.
DISCUSSION...Another round of thunderstorms has developed amid the
low-level moisture convergence across Jack, Wise, and Denton
Counties in North Texas. This development is occurring to the north
of the outflow-dried air that extends from Tarrant and Dallas
Counties southeastward into Erath County. The presence of this drier
air just downstream of the storms and onset of nocturnal cooling
suggest that the longevity of this activity may be limited. However,
vertical shear remains strong, and there is some potential for the
most organized storms to persist longer than the thermodynamic
environment would suggest. Hail remains the primary threat, although
a strong gust or two is possible as well. Severe Thunderstorm Watch
336 is currently set to expire at 03Z, but convective trends will be
monitored to determine if a local extension in time is necessary.

MD 1027 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR MIDDLE/LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY
Mesoscale Discussion 1027
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0746 PM CDT Mon May 27 2024
Areas affected...Middle/Lower Rio Grande Valley
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 280046Z - 280245Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Large to very large hail (2" to 2.5" in diameter) and
strong gusts up to 70 mph are possible across the Middle/Lower Rio
Grande Valley this evening. The need for a watch is uncertain, but
convective trends will be monitored closely.
DISCUSSION...Visible satellite and regional radar imagery shows an
intense left-moving supercell moving across northern Tamaulipas
towards the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Recent motion of this storm was
estimated at 30 kt, bringing it across the border around 0130Z.
Extreme buoyancy (i.e. MLCAPE around 5000 J/kg) is in place
downstream, with at least some potential for this storm to maintain
its intensity for the next few hours. Main deterrent is the building
convective inhibition and warm temperatures aloft, which, given the
intensity of the storm, are not expected to result in quick storm
weakening. Large to very large hail (2" to 2.5" in diameter) and
strong gusts up to 70 mph may impact the Lower Rio Grande Valley
within the next hour.
Farther north (about 30 miles south of LRD), convergence along an
outflow boundary has resulted in convective initiation, with much of
the activity west of the border. However, one cell has developed in
far western Webb County. Large to very large hail and strong gusts
are possible with this storm, as well as any other development that
occurs in this area.
Given the widely spaced and isolated nature of the severe threat,
the need for watch is uncertain. However, convective trends will be
monitored closely.

MD 1025 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 333...335... FOR SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA INTO THE DELMARVA REGION
Mesoscale Discussion 1025
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0640 PM CDT Mon May 27 2024
Areas affected...Southeast Pennsylvania into the Delmarva region
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 333...335...
Valid 272340Z - 280145Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 333, 335
continues.
SUMMARY...The severe threat continues primarily for the southern
half of WW 333, especially downstream of a cluster of organized
convection moving across the Delmarva region.
DISCUSSION...Gradual and modest air mass recovery has been ongoing
over the past couple of hours across central to eastern PA and NJ in
the wake of earlier convection. Recent RAP mesoanalysis estimates
suggest MLCAPE has increased to around 1000 J/kg across eastern
PA/NJ with strong deep-layer wind shear remaining over the region
ahead of the approaching upper wave. Thunderstorms that have
recently developed along a subtle surface confluence axis may see
intensification to severe limits over the next hour or so before the
onset of more substantial nocturnal cooling/stabilization.
Further south, a cluster of discrete/semi-discrete cells has evolved
over the Delmarva region. This activity remains well within the
buoyancy axis where low 70s dewpoints are supporting MLCAPE closer
to 1500 J/kg. With moisture continuing to increase downstream into
DE, storm maintenance and/or intensification is expected with a
continued threat for damaging winds and large hail. A brief tornado
threat may materialize across the northern Chesapeake Bay area
within the hour given modest (around 100 m2/s2) 0-1 km SRH just
ahead of the ongoing storms, but southwesterly winds further
downstream into DE suggest weaker low-level SRH and lower tornado
potential.
