   Mesoscale Discussion 0372

   0550 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2019

   Areas affected...the eastern Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 75...

   Valid 172250Z - 180015Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 75
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The severe weather threat continues across severe
   thunderstorm watch 75. The best chance for very large hail will be
   with more discrete convection.

   DISCUSSION...More widespread convection has started to develop along
   the front with additional upscale growth expected through the
   evening. Ahead of the front, a few more discrete supercells have
   been dropping 1.5 to 2.0 inch hail. Expect these storms to be the
   primary producers of very large hail for the next 2 to 3 hours since
   this convection is expected to remain more discrete. This more
   discrete convection will likely be absorbed into the main line of
   storms as the storms along the front propagate eastward and
   additional storms develop as  stronger forcing moves into the area.
   As these storms continue to grow upscale, the threat will transition
   from more of a hail threat to a damaging wind threat. 

   In addition, storms along the front have had several reports of
   tornadoes over the past 1 to 2 hours. Visual observations of the
   tornadoes, radar imagery, and the vorticity rich low-level
   environment along the surface front suggest these tornadoes are
   likely forming from landspout processes. This threat may continue
   over the next 1 to 2 hours but should wane later into the evening as
   the cooling boundary layer and more widespread storm development
   yields less favorable low-level lapse rates.
