MD 0100 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 13... FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN INTO CENTRAL TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0100 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0633 PM CST Fri Feb 02 2024 Areas affected...portions of northern into central Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 13... Valid 030033Z - 030200Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 13 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across northern portions of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 13 over northern to central Texas. Damaging gusts and large hail remain the primary concerns, though a tornado cannot be ruled out, especially with stronger QLCS circulations. DISCUSSION...Strong thunderstorms are merging into a singular squall line across portions of northern into central TX as large-scale ascent continues to overspread the southern Plains. MRMS mosaic radar imagery had displayed possible severe hail with the earlier discrete storm modes, with a tornado also reported in southwestern Haskell County, TX in the past hour. While a couple instances of severe hail could still occur with the stronger storm cores, damaging gusts may become a relatively greater threat this evening given the transition to more linear storm modes. KDYX radar data has also shown brief instances of strong low-level rotation embedded within the maturing QLCS. Deep-layer is modest (i.e. 30-40 kts of effective bulk shear per 00Z mesoanalysis). However the mesoanalysis also shows 200 m2/s2 of effective SRH, and the FWS VAD shows over 300 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH with enlarged hodograph curvature. Since the deep-layer shear vectors are also oriented roughly normal to the convective line, a QLCS tornado cannot be ruled out this evening. ..Squitieri.. 02/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0099 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR EXTREME EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO FAR WESTERN OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 0099 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0547 PM CST Fri Feb 02 2024 Areas affected...extreme eastern portions of the Texas Panhandle into far western Oklahoma Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 022347Z - 030145Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...A few instances of severe wind or hail are possible with the stronger thunderstorms this evening. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are increasing in number and intensity ahead of a surface cold front as a 500 mb jet streak overspreads western TX (per 23Z mesoanalysis). These storms are preceded by 8+ C/km low and mid-level lapse rates, which should support continued development and intensification given low to mid 60s F surface temperatures and 1000+ J/kg MLCAPE. RAP forecast soundings and 23Z mesoanalysis also show weak deep-layer shear, characterized by generally short hodographs. While some severe wind and hail cannot be ruled out, the severe threat is expected to remain generally isolated given the weaker shear. Storms may gradually diminish in intensity later this evening with the onset of nocturnal cooling. ..Squitieri/Guyer.. 02/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0656 PM CST Fri Feb 02 2024 Valid 030100Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHWEST TEXAS INTO AND EAST OF THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY... ...SUMMARY... Strong thunderstorms may continue to pose a risk for severe hail and wind across parts of the southern Great Plains tonight. ...01Z Update... Despite the initially modest nature of the boundary-layer moistening, daytime heating has contributed to mixed-layer CAPE ranging from 500-1500 J/kg, focused just to the east of slowly deepening surface troughing from parts of northwest Texas into the Rio Grande west of Del Rio. Generally near the leading edge of the stronger mid-level cooling, convection continues to increase along this corridor, preceded by additional more discrete storm development across the Rio Grande River into the Texas Hill Country. North/northeast of a line, roughly from the Edwards Plateau toward the upper Texas coastal plain, deep-layer shear remains rather modest, with inhibition for boundary-layer parcels also already increasing in response to the loss of daytime heating. However, with boundary-layer dew points slowly continuing to increase through the lower/mid 60s F across southeastern into central Texas, there may be sufficient destabilization to maintain vigorous convective development as mid/upper forcing for ascent and cooling aloft continues to spread eastward tonight. Some further increase and intensification of convection still appears possible later this evening/overnight, where shear and perhaps better low-level moistening remain focused across the Hill Country into the Texas coastal plain. This may include an organizing cluster or line posing a risk for strong wind gusts and perhaps some potential for a tornado or two. ..Kerr.. 02/03/2024 Read more

MD 0098 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA INTO NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0098 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0342 PM CST Fri Feb 02 2024 Areas affected...Southwestern Oklahoma into North Central Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 022142Z - 030015Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Isolated severe storms capable of large hail and gusty winds possible late afternoon/evening. DISCUSSION...The air mass across southwestern Oklahoma into north central Texas is slowly recovering after morning shower activity and cloud cover has diminished. This can be observed in surface temperatures warming into the upper 60s along with cu development along the southern fringe of the eroding mid-level capping inversion. Some stable air remains in place as observed by billow clouds across the Red River as of 21z. Further overspreading of ascent and cooler temperatures aloft should work to further diminish mid-level capping. MLCAPE values around 1000 J/kg have nudged their way into portions north Central Texas just south of the Red River. Storms have initiated to the southwest along and just behind the Pacific front slowly tracking eastward. Should this corridor continue to destabilize as deep layer shear increases into the evening, storms moving into this region could support a risk of large hail and damaging wind. This area will be monitored for trends and watch potential later this afternoon/evening. ..Thornton/Goss.. 02/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 0098 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0342 PM CST Fri Feb 02 2024 Areas affected...Southwestern Oklahoma into North Central Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 022142Z - 030015Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Isolated severe storms capable of large hail and gusty winds possible late afternoon/evening. DISCUSSION...The air mass across southwestern Oklahoma into north central Texas is slowly recovering after morning shower activity and cloud cover has diminished. This can be observed in surface temperatures warming into the upper 60s along with cu development along the southern fringe of the eroding mid-level capping inversion. Some stable air remains in place as observed by billow clouds across the Red River as of 21z. Further overspreading of ascent and cooler temperatures aloft should work to further diminish mid-level capping. MLCAPE values around 1000 J/kg have nudged their way into portions north Central Texas just south of the Red River. Storms have initiated to the southwest along and just behind the Pacific front slowly tracking eastward. Should this corridor continue to destabilize as deep layer shear increases into the evening, storms moving into this region could support a risk of large hail and damaging wind. This area will be monitored for trends and watch potential later this afternoon/evening. ..Thornton/Goss.. 02/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
