   Mesoscale Discussion 0502
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0455 PM CDT Mon Apr 10 2023

   Areas affected...Southwest Oklahoma and western North Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 132...

   Valid 102155Z - 110000Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 132
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The most organized storms are expected to be in southwest
   Oklahoma and nearby vicinity given marginally greater low-level
   moisture and modestly increasing shear.

   DISCUSSION...The mid-level speed max is now over parts of
   south-central Kansas into northwestern Oklahoma, per water vapor
   imagery. Recent KVNX VAD is sampling this feature well and shows
   around 55 kts at 5 km. As this feature moves southward this evening,
   deep-layer shear across western Oklahoma into western North Texas
   should increase. Given the pocket of slightly higher dewpoints (53 F
   in Hobart, 54 F in Frederick), storms moving into this region are
   expected to maintain and perhaps slightly increase in organization
   over the next 2-3 hours. Large hail up to 2 inches (there was an
   earlier report of 1.75 inches south of Elk City) will be the primary
   hazard along with damaging winds.
