    Areas affected...Parts of southern into central Mississippi

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 61...

    Valid 221719Z - 221915Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 61 continues.

    SUMMARY...One or two sustained, long track supercells with the
    potential to produce strong tornadoes may gradually begin to emerge
    across south central through east central Mississippi through
    18-21Z, in advance of a squall line progressing east of the lower
    Mississippi Valley.

    DISCUSSION...Strongest boundary-layer destabilization the past few
    hours has been focused along a corridor of stronger low-level warm
    advection, preceding the increasingly extensive cluster of
    thunderstorms slowly spreading into/across the lower Mississippi
    Valley. This is contributing to deepening convective development
    across much of southern through central Mississippi, which likely
    will continue through the 18-21Z time frame. Though the number of
    cells will probably decrease, stronger more widely scattered
    discrete storms probably will begin to emerge in an environment with
    CAPE increasing to 1500+ J/kg. The continued inland and northward
    propagation of a strong southerly 850 mb speed maximum has and will
    continue to contribute to very large, clockwise curved low-level
    hodographs conducive to the evolution of sustained, strong
    mesocyclones with the potential to produce significant tornadoes.=20
    Given the strength of the south-southwesterly deep-layer mean flow,
    these will be fast moving (in excess of 50 kt) with the potential
    for one or two to become fairly long track.

    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0233 PM CDT Thu Mar 23 2023

    Areas affected...western north TX...southwest into central OK

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

    Valid 231933Z - 232100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...A convective watch (probably a severe thunderstorm) is
    expected as storms develop between 300-400pm across southwest into
    central OK. Large to very large hail will be the primary severe
    hazard with supercells, but a tornado and severe gusts are also
    possible.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery shows towering cumulus over
    Tillman County, OK and Wilbarger County, TX. Convective initiation
    appears imminent and other storm development is expected over the
    next 1-2 hours northeastward along a slowly sagging cold front
    draped near I-44.=20=20

    Surface observations show temperatures nearing 80 deg F over western
    north TX to the immediate south of the boundary. Considerable cloud cover/showers have largely limited heating across south-central OK
    during the past 1-2 hours, with temperatures holding in the low-mid
    70s. Moderate buoyancy has developed over western north TX and is
    reduced with northeast extent into central OK due to cloud
    cover/shower activity. The 18z Norman, OK raob showed a layer of
    very steep lapse rates between 700-450 mb (8.5 deg C/km). Low-level
    flow is not forecast to appreciably intensify until later this
    evening and this will limit hodograph size and the potential for a
    tornado. However, strong southwesterly mid-level winds (60-65 kt at
    500mb) will promote storm organization. A few strong supercells may
    eventually develop and emerge from a corridor extending from western
    north TX northeastward into southwest OK through the early evening.=20
    Other strong to severe thunderstorms will likely develop over parts
    of central OK later this afternoon into the evening.

    Areas affected...parts of central Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 271852Z - 272115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...The risk for a few strong thunderstorms with potential to
    produce severe hail and locally strong surface gusts appears likely
    to increase by 4-6 PM CDT.

    DISCUSSION...Beneath cold air (including 500 mb temperatures around
    -23 to -26 C) associated with mid-level troughing shifting across
    the southern Great Plains, a deepening well-mixed boundary-layer
    continues to evolve with daytime heating across the Edwards Plateau
    into Hill Country. Near the leading edge of the stronger
    differential surface heating, where surface dew points are still as
    high as the mid/upper 40s F, destabilization is contributing to
    deepening convective development, within moderately sheared westerly
    to west-northwesterly deep-layer mean flow.

    With additional insolation, it appears that mixed-layer CAPE may
    increase in excess of 500 J/kg. As the sharp trailing flank of the
    mid-level cold pool begins to progress east-northeast of the Permian
    Basin, strongest instability is forecast to shift toward the I-35
    corridor of central Texas through 21-23Z, where/when initiation and intensification of thunderstorm activity appear increasingly
    probable, perhaps aided by ascent associated with low-level warm
    advection.

    Given the evolving thermodynamic profiles and favorable deep-layer
    shear, a few supercell structures may develop and pose a risk for
    producing severe hail and locally strong surface gusts through early
    evening, before weakening.
