    Areas affected...Southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma and Texas
    Panhandles

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

    Valid 042059Z - 042300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing across the far western Oklahoma
    Panhandle and southeast Colorado may intensify as they move east
    through the late afternoon and evening hours. A watch is possible in
    the coming hours for parts of the OK/TX Panhandles and perhaps
    southwest Kansas if the threat for severe hail/wind increases.

    DISCUSSION...Convective initiation is underway across the far
    western OK Panhandle and far southeast CO. Over the past hour,
    storms have exhibited periodic bursts of lightning as well as
    cooling cloud top temperatures. Although individual cells have
    struggle to maintain intensity, low-level ascent along a surface
    trough (and in the vicinity of a weak surface low) along with
    locally reduced inhibition from prior attempts at CI is allowing for
    continued re-development. A gradual uptick in convective intensity
    is possible in the near term, with strong to severe winds the most
    probable hazard given the well-mixed boundary layer and steep
    low-level lapse rates. A possible mix of discrete cells and clusters
    will meander eastward within the mean west/northwesterly flow regime
    and move into the increasingly buoyant air mass in place across the
    OK/TX Panhandles and southwest KS. As storms encounter this air
    mass, deepening parcel trajectories will experience strengthening
    effective bulk shear, which may support improving storm organization
    and an attendant hail/wind threat. The exact timing of when this
    uptick will occur remains somewhat uncertain, and latest hi-res
    guidance has struggled to capture recent trends with this activity.
    Trends will be monitored and a watch is possible by the late
    afternoon/early evening hours if storm intensification can occur.

    Mesoscale Discussion 1031
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0520 AM CDT Wed Jun 14 2023

    Areas affected...Southern MS into adjacent parts of eastern LA and
    south AL

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

    Valid 141020Z - 141145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe threat may increase later this morning, with a
    threat of hail, damaging gusts, and possibly a couple of tornadoes.
    Watch issuance is possible.

    DISCUSSION...At 1015 UTC, an elevated thunderstorm cluster is moving east-southeastward across northern LA. Severe Thunderstorm Watch 288
    was recently issued in order to address the short-term severe
    hail/wind threat associated with this cluster into parts of
    south-central MS. Meanwhile, weak shower development has recently
    been noted from eastern LA into far southern MS/AL, within a richly
    moist environment characterized by dewpoints in the upper 70s F.
    Short-term guidance continues to suggest the potential for deep
    convection to erupt in this region near or after sunrise, within a warm-advection regime attendant to a moderate southwesterly
    low-level jet.=20

    If deep convection can be sustained within this regime, MLCAPE of
    greater than 2500 J/kg and effective shear of 50-60 kt will be quite
    favorable for supercell development, with an attendant threat of
    hail (possibly very large) and localized severe gusts. Initial
    development could be slightly elevated, but decreasing MLCINH would
    support surface-based supercells with time, with low-level shear/SRH
    sufficient for a tornado threat as well. There is also some
    potential for the ongoing cluster to propagate southeastward and
    become rooted closer to the surface later this morning.=20

    While uncertainty remains regarding the coverage of the severe
    threat with southward extent this morning, Tornado Watch issuance is
    possible if surface-based supercell development appears imminent.
    Such a watch would potentially include southern parts of WW 288.
