    Mesoscale Discussion 1670

    Areas affected...Central/Eastern OK...North TX

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 429...

    Valid 010035Z - 010200Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 429 continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat for large hail, damaging winds, and a few
    tornadoes will increase this evening along and east of the I-35
    corridor.

    DISCUSSION...At 0030Z, scattered thunderstorms have developed along
    two bands from north TX into southwest OK; one band is along a
    prefrontal confluence axis approaching the I-35 corridor, with the
    second band further west along the primary Pacific cold front.
    Storms have largely remained subsevere thus far, but an increase in
    coverage and intensity is expected this evening in advance of a
    powerful negatively tilted trough moving into the southern Plains.
    Regional 00Z soundings from OUN and FWD exhibit very steep midlevel
    lapse rates and moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg).
    Deep-layer shear is quite strong and low-level shear will continue
    to increase this evening in advance of the upper trough. Given the
    favorable environment, it is possible that storms will become severe
    as they approach the I-35 corridor between now and 7 PM CDT, with
    maintenance or continued gradual increase in the severe threat
    further east as storms encounter more favorable low-level moisture.
    The primary initial threat will be large hail, while any sustained
    discrete supercell will also eventually pose a tornado threat. Later
    this evening as the primary Pacific cold front catches up to the
    storms further east, an evolution into more of a linear mode is
    expected, with a corresponding damaging wind threat.

    Further east, storms have been increasing within a low-level warm
    advection regime across eastern OK. While much of this activity is
    likely slightly elevated, thunderstorm clusters may eventually
    become rooted near the surface, posing a near-term threat for
    damaging winds and perhaps isolated large hail. Very favorable
    low-level wind profiles will also result in a tornado threat across
    this region if supercell structures can become established.

    Some severe threat will likely extend south of Tornado Watch 429
    this evening. While coverage further south remains uncertain, some
    areal extension of the watch may be required if storms become
    established south of the Metroplex.
