    Mesoscale Discussion 0447
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0234 PM CDT Mon Apr 11 2022

    Areas affected...portions of southeast Oklahoma and extreme
    northeast Texas into western and central Arkansas

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

    Valid 111934Z - 112130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered strong to severe storm development is likely
    over the next few hours. Scattered damaging gusts, very large hail,
    and a few tornadoes are all likely, and a strong tornado or two is
    also possible. A Tornado Watch issuance will be needed soon.

    DISCUSSION...An elongated 1006 mb surface low continues to meander
    east across northern Texas, with the triple point situated along the
    Red River near GLE, and a quasi-stationary baroclinic zone draped
    along a line roughly from ADM to FSM per latest surface
    observations. A deepening cumulus field has already become
    established across eastern OK into northeast TX and western AR. The
    approach of a modest 500 mb vort max over the Southern Plains
    combined with adequate diurnal heating should foster an increase in thunderstorm development near the triple point and along the
    quasi-stationary baroclinic zone over the next few hours. The last
    few deterministic HRRR and Warn-on-Forecast ensemble runs suggest
    that storms may become established as early as 20Z. 8.5 C/km
    mid-level lapse rates overspreading mid 60s F surface dewpoints are contributing to over 2000 J/kg MLCAPE, with MLCINH continuing to
    erode with time.=20

    Modest veering/strengthening of the surface-700 mb flow yields
    modestly curved hodographs (via SRX and LZK VAD profilers), with
    supercell structures likely given the initial discrete storm mode
    expected. Damaging gusts and large hail may accompany any storm that
    can mature, and 2+ inch hail may also accompany the longer-lived
    robust supercells given the steep mid-level lapse rates. While the
    low-level jet continues to weaken and shift eastward towards the MS
    River, enough low-level directional shear should promote low-level
    rotation and tornado potential with the more persistent supercells.
    If supercells can remain discrete while propagating eastward into AR
    (closer to the low-level jet axis), a strong tornado or two may also
    occur. A Tornado Watch will be needed soon.

    Areas affected...far southwest GA into northern FL

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 113...

    Valid 031659Z - 031800Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 113 continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat for damaging gusts and a tornado may be locally
    increasing across far southwest GA into northern portions of the FL
    Panhandle over the next 1-2 hours.

    DISCUSSION...A bowing area of convection traveling along a surface
    warm front has shown an increase in organization over the past 30-60
    minutes. This area of storms has shown increasing measured wind
    gusts around 40 kt as well as a brief spin-up tornado. This area of
    convection is expected to continue southeast along an axis of
    greater instability where surface dewpoints have increased to the
    upper 60s to near 70 F along/south of the warm front. Additionally,
    low-level shear will remain favorable for a spin-up or two with the
    apex of this bowing segment. A corridor of locally enhanced severe
    potential appears possible over the next 1-2 hours.

    Areas affected...parts of western Texas into far southwest OK

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 110...

    Valid 152332Z - 160100Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 110 continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe risk continues. Developing storms across West
    TX will remain capable of all hazards this evening. Broad cloud
    cover may limit the threat farther east until more robust forcing
    arrives from the west.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2315 UTC, regional radar and satellite imagery
    showed storms finally developing near the dryline over
    west/southwest TX. Likely driven by diurnal mixing west of a broad
    cirrus plume, these storms have struggled to maintain intensity over
    the last hour due to remaining MLCINH. Continued heating west of the
    cloud band may allow for additional development into the early
    evening as more intense forcing for ascent from the west. The
    environment remains capped, but moderately unstable with 2000-2500
    J/kg of MLCAPE and dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s F. Strong
    deep-layer shear would support supercellular organization with any
    storms able to be sustained. Given the moderate buoyancy and shear,
    large hail would be likely.=20

    Hi-res guidance suggests more robust development is possible closer
    to sunset. Low-level flow is also forecast to increase potentially
    increasing the tornado risk with any more sustained supercells that
    become established. While uncertain on how much storm
    development/coverage will occur in the near-term, the environment
    remains favorable for severe weather into this evening.
