MD 1033 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 339...340... FOR NORTH TX
Mesoscale Discussion 1033 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0526 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Areas affected...North TX Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 339...340... Valid 281026Z - 281200Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 339, 340 continues. SUMMARY...A swath of damaging winds with severe gusts of 65-80 mph and embedded large hail to around golf-ball size appears likely to spread across the Metroplex and southeastward. DISCUSSION...A strengthening and deepening complex of severe thunderstorms (with echo tops to around 60k ft) will progress through the Metroplex over the next couple hours. An initial measured severe gust of 61 mph was recently reported in Denton County, and gust potential will likely increase as the complex moves into richer boundary-layer moisture characterized by mid 70s surface dew points across the central/southern Metroplex. This cluster may accelerate as the cold pool further deepens, and likely propagates southeastward along the pronounced MLCAPE gradient extending into southeast TX. ..Grams.. 05/28/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1032 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 339... FOR NORTH TX
Mesoscale Discussion 1032 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0325 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Areas affected...North TX Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 339... Valid 280825Z - 281000Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 339 continues. SUMMARY...An increasing threat for severe wind gusts and large hail is expected farther south in north Texas through sunrise. An additional severe thunderstorm watch or extension of ongoing WW 339 is likely. DISCUSSION...The deepest/most intense thunderstorms within WW 339 were centered over Clay County, TX. Recent radar evolution suggest this activity is beginning to pivot southeastward towards the large CAPE reservoir emanating north from central TX. While CAM guidance has been slow with the evolution of early morning convection, the 07Z HRRR run finally appears more consistent with the 00Z NSSL-MPAS runs in indicating a substantial linear cluster accelerating southeastward across parts of the Metroplex. With deepening convective cores to its east, within the downstream warm-advection flank and the FWS VWP sampling the strongest low-level jet of the night (around 40 kts), this scenario appears increasingly plausible. Damaging gusts could reach 65-80 mph as the cold pool matures towards sunrise. ..Grams.. 05/28/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...FWD...OUN...

Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0353 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Valid 311200Z - 051200Z ...DISCUSSION... Medium-range guidance indicates that an initially prominent mid-level ridge will become increasingly suppressed across the Great Lakes region late this week into early next weekend. It appears that flow will then trend more zonal along the interior Canadian/U.S. border vicinity, but subsequent flow evolution remains uncertain due to continuing notable spread within/among the various model output. Broad mid-level ridging, within the stronger westerlies emanating from the northern mid-latitude Pacific, is generally forecast to build inland of the northern Pacific coast through the western/central Canadian U.S. border area by the middle of next week. It is possible that this may be preceded by mid-level troughing which may contribute to modest surface cyclogenesis, from the lee of the northern Rockies through the middle Missouri Valley and northern Great Plains Red River Valley by early next Monday, then across northwestern Ontario Tuesday. It might not be out of the question that increasing flow and shear, coupled with low-level moisture return ahead of a sharpening dryline across the High Plains, could contribute to an increase in severe weather potential late Sunday afternoon. This could continue along a cold front overtaking the dryline across the northern Great Plains into Upper Midwest, and along the dryline across the central and southern High Plains, into Monday/Monday night.
