Mesoscale Discussion 0783
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1116 AM CDT Fri May 28 2021
Areas affected...portions of central Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 281616Z - 281745Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...An increase in severe risk may evolve over the next 1 to 2
hours across portions of central Texas. WW may become necessary if
trends persist.
DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a small cluster of
thunderstorms that has developed in the vicinity of western Comanche
County. The storms appear to be developing near the intersection of
a remnant outflow boundary -- extending southeastward into the
Houston area -- and the synoptic front moving southward across North
Texas.
Steep lapse rates in place across the region are contributing to
substantial CAPE -- which should support continued storm development
near this boundary intersection. While low-level flow remains a bit
weak and disjointed, moderate mid-level westerlies will be
sufficient to allow some updraft organization/mid-level rotation, as
storms develop/spread east-southeastward with time. Given the
thermodynamics, stronger storms will be capable of producing large
hail. In addition, gusty winds will be possible with storms near
and to the warm side of the surface front, and a brief tornado also
cannot be ruled out as storms interact with the surface boundaries.
