Mesoscale Discussion 1619
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0733 PM CDT Sat Nov 03 2018
Areas affected...South-central Oklahoma...Portions of north-central
Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 040033Z - 040230Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Storm coverage along a cold front will increase with the
approach of a shortwave trough. Weak buoyancy should limit any
threat to a few marginally severe wind gusts. No WW is expected.
DISCUSSION...Convection along a cold front draped across central
Oklahoma and North Texas has increased over the last hour per
regional radar mosaic. With the approach of shortwave trough, now
over the South Plains of Texas, coverage will likely increase by
01-02Z. Per 00Z FWD sounding, 35-45 kts of effective shear exists
across the boundary, however, instability is a meager 183 J/kg of
SBCAPE. While cooling aloft may lead to a modest increase in
instability, overall threat should be limited to a few marginally
severe wind gusts at best. A WW is unlikely.
