    Areas affected...Northwest TX...Southwestern OK

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 032219Z - 032345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong/severe thunderstorms are expected this
    evening. Gusty winds and hail are the expected threats. Some
    consideration is being given for a severe thunderstorm watch across
    portions of northwest Texas and southwest Oklahoma.

    DISCUSSION...Strong boundary-layer heating has contributed to a
    plume of steep surface-3km lapse rates (approaching dry adiabatic)
    across the TX South Plains, extending into southwestern OK. Forecast
    soundings suggest convective temperatures have been breached across
    this region and latest visible satellite imagery supports this with
    an expanding cu field along the dryline from west of ABI-southwest
    of Vernon. Additionally, boundary-layer cu are also forming along
    the cold front over Harmon County in southwest OK. While it's not
    real obvious, a weak mid-level disturbance may be approaching the TX
    Panhandle and this feature should assist convection that evolves
    immediately ahead of a weak surface low near CDS, along the front. Thermodynamic profiles suggest convection that evolves over the next
    few hours will be high based, but adequately sheared for updraft
    longevity. After sunset, sustained LLJ across west TX into eastern
    OK should aid eastward propagation with activity becoming elevated
    as the boundary layer cools. Gusty winds appear possible with this
    high-based convection along with some hail threat.

    Areas affected...ArkLaTex into parts of the Mid South

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20

    Valid 311544Z - 311745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...The threat for tornadic supercells will increase this
    afternoon. PDS Tornado Watch issuance is eventually expected for
    parts of the region.

    DISCUSSION...Weak elevated convection has been ongoing across parts
    of AR this morning, within a plume of rich low-level moisture and
    along the periphery of a lead shortwave moving across eastern
    portions of the central Plains. Additional convective development
    has been noted recently into southeast OK and northeast TX.
    Widespread cloudiness will tend to limit diurnal heating to some
    extent, but gradual warming amid increasingly rich low-level
    moisture will support MLCAPE increasing into the 1000-2000 J/kg
    range and weakening MLCINH with time.=20

    Area VWPs already depict very favorable wind profiles, with strong
    low-level (0-1 km SRH of 200-400 m2/s2) and deep-layer shear
    (effective shear of 60+ kt) expected to persist through the day.
    Tornadic supercells are expected to eventually evolve across the
    region this afternoon, with a few longer-lived supercells capable of
    producing strong/intense tornadoes possible, especially across AR
    toward the MS Valley. Onset timing of the greater threat remains
    somewhat uncertain, but one or more Tornado Watches will be required
    by early afternoon, with PDS Tornado Watch issuance expected across
    parts of AR toward the MS Valley.

    1149 PM CDT Mon Apr 08 2024

    Areas affected...Parts of north TX

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 93...

    Valid 090449Z - 090615Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 93
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Very large hail (golfball to baseball size) remains
    possible with an ongoing supercell cluster. A brief tornado cannot
    be ruled out.

    DISCUSSION...Several supercells are ongoing at 0445 UTC to the
    west-northwest of the Metroplex, with multiple cells having produced
    golfball or larger sized hail (up to 3 inches in diameter) within
    the last hour. While some cell interactions/mergers have been noted
    with the northernmost cells, the two right-moving supercells ongoing
    west of Mineral Wells and north of Fort Worth may be able to move east-northeastward with minimal interference in the short term.=20

    MLCAPE of around 2000 J/kg and effective shear of 45-55 kt will
    continue to support supercell potential into the early overnight
    hours, with very large hail (potentially 2-3 inches in diameter with
    the strongest cells) as the primary threat, along with some risk for
    localized severe gusts. Also, low-level flow has substantially
    increased over the last 1-2 hours on the KFWS VWP, with 0-1 km SRH
    increasing above 150 m2/s2. This could support a brief tornado
    threat with the strongest right-moving cells, though relatively cool near-surface conditions may mitigate this threat to some extent.
