Mesoscale Discussion 0579
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0514 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2024

   Areas affected...portions of west Texas

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 302214Z - 010015Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...Local risk of very large hail will continue into the
   evening.

   DISCUSSION...Storms located along the dryline over west Texas have a
   history of producing very large hail, up to 2.5 inches in diameter
   during the past hour. Sounding analysis indicates favorable long
   hodographs, ample instability, and with deep layer flow that would
   support continued risk of very large hail. There is some uncertainty
   in the overall coverage of storms and thus the coverage of the
   severe threat.
