Mesoscale Discussion 1937
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0506 PM CST Wed Nov 10 2021
Areas affected...parts of north Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely
Valid 102306Z - 110100Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...Storms capable of damaging hail, strong gusts and perhaps
a brief tornado are expected to affect parts of north Texas this
evening.
DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows a cold front from central OK
into northwest TX, with a dryline from near Wichita Falls extending
southwestward toward San Angelo. While dewpoints are only in the
55-60 F range, temperatures aloft are quite cold which is maximizing
instability. A 21Z sounding from OUN showed 2000 J/kg MUCAPE,
despite little heating today.
Visible imagery shows towering CU near the cold front/dryline
intersection approaching the Wichita Falls area. One or more
supercells may eventually form out of this area, with storms
forecast to progress east/southeastward this evening.
Lengthening hodographs as well as steep lapse rates aloft with 500
mb temperatures near -17 C suggest damaging hail will be possible as
storms move east/southeast along and south of the Red River. A brief
tornado may occur as well, as low-level shear remains favorable
prior to the cold front passing. However, low-level winds are
forecast to rapidly veer this evening.
