Re: Great Plains, Midwest, & Deep South Storm Season 2021
CAPE is over 2000 in Western Oklahoma, but CINH is showing that it's weakening there too . . .

Re: Great Plains, Midwest, & Deep South Storm Season 2021
Friday 4/9 looks interesting. Probably another cap issue but it's still a few days out things could change. Would probably be a pretty big event otherwise... Certainly will be watching for sure.

Re: Great Plains, Midwest, & Deep South Storm Season 2021
Enhanced risk has been expanded. Should be a very messy storm mode today, so any tornadoes are likely going to be QLCS spin ups, which can also be very dangerous

6z GFS Sounding Near Tecumseh, OK on Friday, April 9th
CAPE is between 1500 & 2500 J/kg at that sounding
Do want to mention that the CAPE in Eastern Texas is over 4000 J/kg

That seems to be the case, but any supercell that blows up in front of the Squall may produce stronger, long-tracked tornadoes . . .
The net effect should be for
strengthening deep shear (e.g., effective-shear magnitudes reaching
35-50 kt), but also, a more front-parallel component to winds aloft,
encouraging quasi-linear storm mode with embedded supercells and
bow/LEWP features.

Re: Great Plains, Midwest, & Deep South Storm Season 2021
Mesoscale Discussion 0322
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1110 AM CDT Wed Apr 07 2021
Areas affected...Parts of eastern/northeastern Texas through western
Arkansas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely
Valid 071610Z - 071815Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...The initiation of strong to severe thunderstorms appears
possible as early 1-2 PM CDT. This may, at least initially, include
discrete supercells, before a squall line tends to evolve, and a
risk for tornadoes, one or two of which could be strong.
DISCUSSION...Cloud cover is slowing moist, warm sector
boundary-layer destabilization, but it appears the air mass is
already potentially moderately unstable as the significant upstream
short wave trough begins to take on a neutral to negative tilt
across the central Great Plains. Downstream of the base of this
troughing, beneath increasingly difluent mid/upper flow,
considerable model output suggests that erosion of inhibition
associated with capping elevated mixed-layer air, coupled with at
least some further boundary-layer warming, will allow for the
initiation of thunderstorm development as early as 18-19Z.
Initially this may be largely discrete, and scattered, but focused
within a zone of enhanced low-level convergence along an eastward
advancing cold front.
With the environment becoming characterized by wind profiles with
strong deep-layer shear and sizable, clockwise-curved low-level
hodographs, in the presence of a deep moist boundary-layer, it
appears conducive to supercells capable of producing tornadoes.
This includes potential for a strong tornado or two, though the
overall tornado potential could be mitigated somewhat by relatively
modest high-level flow and the tendency for upscale convective
growth along the cold front through the afternoon.

I can see why the hatched area was included, 12z gfs shows 4500j/kg in front of that dry line. Given the cap, I would guess this could be a low coverage high intensity event where very isolated supercells could occur in unlucky areas where the cap breaks

The Cap only allows the strongest Supercells to form, this may warrant a Enhanced or Moderate risk later on . . .

Re: Great Plains, Midwest, & Deep South Storm Season 2021
Friday has potential to be big. Especially if the cap breaks further west of the enhanced risk in TX/AR/maybe SE OK. The cap is still the wild card at this point but if it breaks it could be a huge event. I still think it could be an issue, but I think there is a better chance of it breaking than I thought a few days ago. Dixie alley shouldn't have to worry about a cap as usual over there. Either way, a widespread major event looks likely, and Saturday could get interesting also.

What about Central Oklahoma? Is it not likely because it's north of the Low Pressure? But I'm having a feeling that the System desides to trend more north since it's 60 hours out & is currently located over Washington State . . .
Also, the Cap only allows the strongest Supercells to form, this really looks big for sure . . .

Central OK could end up with something but right now the models are showing the biggest parameters east of here... For now. Still needs to be watched for sure. Have to watch for a possible triple point set up. As far as the cap, if it's strong enough, nothing will be able to get going, kind of like yesterday in OK. I don't think the cap is going to be anything like yesterday, but it could be enough to prevent a major outbreak. We'll see. It's still a few days out, and we all know that things can change completely between now and then.

Agreed, even yesterday the cap projected further west by the gfs looked insurmountable, but seems to have trended down to a level that can be broken in isolated spots
