Mesoscale Discussion 2065
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0516 PM CDT Thu Oct 10 2019
Areas affected...much of north Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 102216Z - 110045Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Storms are expected to develop this evening along the cold
front. Isolated severe hail or wind is possible.
DISCUSSION...Visible imagery currently shows a capped CU field over
much of northern TX ahead of the cold front which is slowly moving
south across northwest TX. However, latest imagery shows deeper
towers near the front where temperatures are above 90 F. Ample
moisture with PW values of 1.50-1.75" exists along I-35, with MLCAPE
averaging close to 2000 J/kg within the instability axis.
While capping is inhibiting storms currently, the front will likely
become sufficient to break the cap this evening. East-west oriented
deep-layer shear appears to be at a sufficient angle to the boundary
to allow for a few storms to remain near the front as it progresses
east/southeast. Effective SRH near 200 m2/s2, as well as elongating
hodographs with height suggest an isolated supercell is possible
with hail the primary threat. Otherwise, storms may produce locally
strong to severe wind gusts. If it becomes clear storm coverage will
become sufficient, a severe thunderstorm watch may be needed.
