    Mesoscale Discussion 0485

    0511 PM CDT Wed Apr 13 2022

    Areas affected...Far Southeast Texas/Southern and Central Louisiana

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

    Valid 132211Z - 140015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...A severe threat may develop across parts of far southeast
    Texas and south-central Louisiana over the next couple of hours.
    Weather watch will need to be considered as confidence increases
    concerning the scenario.

    DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery from the Fort Polk, Louisiana
    radar shows a northeast-to-southwest oriented line of strong to
    severe thunderstorms in northwestern Louisiana. This line is ongoing
    in a very moist and unstable airmass, where surface dewpoints are in
    the lower 70s F and MLCAPE is in the 2500 to 3000 J/kg range,
    according to the RAP. At mid-levels, a shortwave trough is evident
    on water vapor imagery across the Arklatex. The southern edge of
    this feature is in far southeast Texas at this time. As this moves
    eastward across southern and central Louisiana late this afternoon
    and early this evening, increasing large-scale ascent could be
    sufficient for scattered thunderstorm development. In addition, a
    belt of strong mid-level flow is evident across north-central Texas
    extending east-northeastward into western and northern Louisiana.
    The southern edge of the stronger flow is in southwest Louisiana. As
    this spreads eastward over the next couple of hours, deep-layer
    shear will become more favorable for severe storms. If discrete
    cells can initiate, supercells with large hail and wind damage will
    be possible. Wind damage could also occur with line segments that
    can become organized.

    Areas affected...southern and eastern indiana...portions of northern
    Kentucky and western Ohio.

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 125...127...

    Valid 051736Z - 051900Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 125, 127 continues.

    SUMMARY...The risk for damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes
    continues this afternoon. A new downstream weather watch will likely
    be needed into portions of central and northern OH.

    DISCUSSION...Across the lower OH Valley region, regional radar
    analysis showed numerous storms along a band from central IN, south
    towards northwestern KY. Over the last 60 min, echo tops increasing
    in height hint at a gradual intensification of the ongoing storms.
    Clearing ahead of the main band has also allowed additional
    thunderstorms to develop across portions of northwestern KY and
    southern IN. With sufficient buoyancy (500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE) and
    effective shear of 50-60 kt, a few organized line/bowing segments
    capable of damaging wind gusts are likely. Low-level flow is veered
    but strong wind fields and ESRH above 200 m2/s2 may also support
    some low-level updraft rotation. A couple of tornadoes will remain
    possible with QLCS or transient supercells. Given the numerous storm interactions, the probability for significant severe risk is
    relatively low. However, the favorable kinematics and instability
    should keep some severe risk possible through this afternoon.

    Given the potential for storms to move eastward out of WW127 over
    the next hour or so, a new weather watch will also be considered
    downstream. A similarly favorable thermodynamics/kinematic
    environment may support a risk for damaging winds and perhaps a
    tornado over portions of northern and central OH this afternoon.

    Areas affected...central/north-central into northeast Texas

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

    Valid 182102Z - 182300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...The threat for isolated to widely scattered supercells
    will increase late this afternoon into the early evening.

    DISCUSSION...A very unstable airmass has developed across central
    and northeast Texas with low to mid 70s dewpoints and temperatures
    in the 80s. MLCAPE around 3000 J/kg and effective shear around 25 to
    30 knots will support organized storms including the potential for
    supercells. However, storm coverage remains questionable due to
    relatively weak forcing. In the near term, the best potential for
    storm development is in central Texas where temperatures are hot
    (near 90 F) and convergence is greater. Visible satellite shows
    cumulus clustering in this region with at least one orphan anvil.

    A severe thunderstorm watch may be needed if mature thunderstorm
    development appears imminent. This region is south of the mid-level
    speed max which is resulting in less shear. However, shear should be
    sufficient for supercells, and given the extreme buoyancy, very
    large hail (up to baseball size) is possible.
