    Mesoscale Discussion 1668
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0351 PM CST Fri Nov 30 2018

    Areas affected...portions of north-central tx into central ok

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 302151Z - 302315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe threat will increase after 23z from portions of
    north-central TX into central OK. Large hail is likely with this
    activity along with some tornado threat. WW will likely be issued by
    00z.

    DISCUSSION...Leading edge of large-scale ascent is spreading east
    across the southern High Plains at roughly 30kt. Latest visible
    satellite imagery supports this with blowing dust and strong
    westerly surface flow approaching southwest OK. Strengthening
    mid-level height falls, on the order of 150-210m, during the latter
    half of the period are inducing a focused low-level response across
    the Red River valley into central OK. Modified Gulf air mass has now
    spread into all but extreme southwest OK with mid 50s surface dew
    points now into Jackson County. Over the next few hours, near 60 dew
    points are expected to advance into central OK. Given the
    aforementioned speed of approaching large-scale forcing, latest
    thinking is deep convection should develop by 23z over southwest OK,
    perhaps extending south of the Red River into northwest TX. Very
    strong shear and steep mid-level lapse rates will support supercell
    development by early evening. Large hail is expected with this
    initial activity. As convection spreads toward the I-35 corridor a
    bit more moist profiles will become more supportive of potential
    tornadic development, especially where lower-mid 60s dew points are encountered. Back edge of severe convection should shift east of
    I-35 by 03z.
