    Mesoscale Discussion 0082
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1016 PM CST Wed Feb 06 2019

    Areas affected...Northwest TX...Central/South-Central OK

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 070416Z - 070615Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail is possible over the next few hours as
    storms move quickly northeastward into central/south-central OK.

    DISCUSSION...Another round of convection has flared up within the
    broad southwesterly flow ahead of a deep upper trough currently over
    the Intermountain West. The impetus for this round appears to be a
    weak perturbation within the strong southwesterly flow. Forecast
    soundings suggest the activity in western OK is likely rooted near
    850 mb atop the shallow stable and cold low-level air mass. Activity
    farther south is likely elevated as well. Strongest storms are
    currently in western OK where the steepest mid-level lapse rates
    exist. Hail is possible with these storms. Air mass downstream of
    these storms is characterized by MUCAPE approaching 1000 J/kg and
    strong vertical shear (i.e. effective shear around 60 kt). As a
    result, the ongoing storms will pose a continued hail threat for at
    least the next hour or so.

    Storms in northwest TX are currently in an area of less instability
    but the downstream air mass across south-central OK is similar to
    that over western OK, with steep lapse rates atop the low-level
    inversion contributing to MUCAPE over 1000 J/kg. Consequently, these
    storms will likely undergo some intensification as they continue
    northeastward. Interaction with the front may also result in some
    brief updraft intensification. Given the potential storm
    strengthening, some isolated hail is possible. Potential for a
    strong wind gusts exists as well with any activity along or south of
    the front.
