MD 0958 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 308... FOR NORTHWEST OK...SOUTH-CENTRAL KS
Mesoscale Discussion 0958 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0607 PM CDT Sat May 25 2024 Areas affected...Northwest OK...South-Central KS Concerning...Tornado Watch 308... Valid 252307Z - 260030Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 308 continues. SUMMARY...Threat for tornadoes and very large hail up to 4" in diameter continues across northwest Oklahoma and south-Central KS. DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery has shown several splitting supercells over the past hour or so, with the right-moving supercell over Comanche County KS appearing to be the strongest at this time. Recent VAD profile from KVNX has shown a notable increase in low-level shear, with the most recent scans sampling over 200 m2/s2 of 0-1 km storm-relative helicity. Organized structure of this storm coupled with ample downstream shear and buoyancy suggests this storm will likely maintain its intensity for at least the next hour. Consequently, there is likely a corridor of greater tornado potential for the next hour or two. Very large hail will also remain possible with the left-split moving across Edwards County. The storm farther south in Woodward County also has a favorable environment downstream, but potential interactions with the supercell moving northward across Blaine and Kingfisher casts some doubt regarding its evolution. Even with this uncertainty, the strength of the vertical shear suggest that eventual re-organization is likely even if negative interference is realized. As with the northern storms, very large hail will remain possible with any left-splits, including the one currently moving in northern Woodward and eastern Harper Counties. ..Mosier/Moore.. 05/25/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0957 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 308... FOR SOUTHWEST/CENTRAL/SOUTH-CENTRAL OK...FAR NORTHWEST/NORTH-CENTRAL TX
Mesoscale Discussion 0957 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0540 PM CDT Sat May 25 2024 Areas affected...Southwest/Central/South-Central OK...Far Northwest/North-Central TX Concerning...Tornado Watch 308... Valid 252240Z - 260015Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 308 continues. SUMMARY...All severe hazards, including very large hail up to 4" and strong tornadoes, remain possible into central/south-central OK and north-central TX. DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery has shown a messy convective evolution across northwest TX and southwest OK over the past two hours, with the initially close-proximity initiation and numerous left-splits contributing to numerous interactions. Some trend back to a more discrete mode may be evolving, with 2 right-moving supercells now apparent over Cotton County OK, and Archer and Clay Counties in northwest TX. The southernmost supercell appears to be the strongest currently, with strong low-level rotation and 60 kft echo tops both noted in recent radar imagery. Despite some boundary-layer cooling due to anvil shading, the airmass ahead of these cells is still extremely buoyant. Mesoanalysis estimates a large area of 3500-4000 J/kg of MLCAPE remains from northwest TX/southwest OK into central/south-central OK and north-central TX. Strong vertical shear exists as well, with over 60 kt of 0-6 km bulk shear sampled with the VAD profiles at both KFDR and KTLX. Some modest convective inhibition is likely in place downstream, particularly given the now cooler surface temperatures. However, the organized character to the ongoing storms coupled with increasing large-scale ascent, should help these storms persist in spite of this inhibition. The overall environment remains supportive of very large hail up to 4" in diameter, strong damaging gusts, and tornadoes. Some additional development is possible in the wake of this main cluster across southwest OK where the airmass remains unstable. There may be some influence from storm outflow, but the large-scale ascent is just now beginning to arrive in this area, with additional convective initiation still possible. ..Mosier.. 05/25/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0956 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY FOR NORTHWEST KANSAS INTO NEBRASKA AND FAR NORTHEAST COLORADO
Mesoscale Discussion 0956 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0441 PM CDT Sat May 25 2024 Areas affected...Northwest Kansas into Nebraska and far northeast Colorado Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 252141Z - 252345Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorms across Nebraska and far northeast Colorado will gradually intensify through early evening with an increase in storm coverage expected across northwest Kansas in the coming hours. One or more watches will likely be needed for these regions to address these concerns given a destabilizing convective environment. DISCUSSION...Over the past hour, initially high-based convection developing across the central High Plains has intensified to severe limits with a 1.0 inch hailstone recently reported out of northeast CO. Despite marginal moisture return thus far (dewpoints in the upper 40s to low 50s), cold temperatures aloft are supporting MLCAPE values upwards of 1000 J/kg downstream across much of NE. Continued northward moisture advection through early evening will steadily improve buoyancy, which should result in a gradual intensification of ongoing convection as it moves east. Initially discrete cells should see some degree of upscale growth given dry low-level conditions that will promote cold pool expansion over the next couple of hours. Strong mid-level flow sampled by regional VWPs should promote storm organization into one or more linear segments with an increasing severe wind threat. To the south across northwest KS and far eastern CO, GOES visible imagery shows steady vertical development within a broad cumulus field in the vicinity of the deepening surface low. While some MLCIN remains in place, continued low-level moistening/heating combined with steady mesoscale ascent near the low should promote thunderstorm development in the next couple of hours. 50-knot deep-layer shear should promote initially discrete cells with an attendant risk for large hail (possibly up to 2.0 inches in diameter). Trends will be monitored for both regions, and one or more watches will likely be needed in the coming 1-2 hours. ..Moore/Smith.. 05/25/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

A similar threat is expected to develop with rapidly changing conditions this evening from northern Oklahoma into southern Kansas. DISCUSSION...Moisture continues to rapidly increase from northwest TX into southern OK, with 70s F dewpoints and increasing shear. Extreme instability will favor particularly large supercells, with right-moving cells possibly traveling for over 100 miles, producing periodic tornadoes and giant hail. The initial threat is from activity now developing over northwest TX, and this should spread north of the Red River and move into south-central OK by evening. Farther north, destabilization and a rapidly increasing low-level jet will result in a developing tornadic supercell threat into the evening. Storms may initialize near the TX Panhandle/OK border ot even toward the KS border over the next few hours. ..Jewell/Bunting.. 05/25/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
