STORM2K

Looks like today will be a very big day across the Southern Plains (especially Oklahoma). I thought I would make a seperate thread for the discussion. Mods, if this is out of line, please feel free to delete it.

No Garrett. I said in the sticky thread that one was needed for this event.

Some SPC maps.

Instability is quite high especially along the TX/OK border which will likely spread into SW Oklahoma later this afternoon.



If you're looking for discrete supercells, an area roughly between Altus, Oklahoma through Childress and Abilene is best bet. Exactly where the dry line would sit before converging into linear mode.



So even though the moderate risk is further north (I think this will verify simply due to MCS wind/hail potential) but the greatest risk of intense supercells will be on the southern end.

New Mesoscale Discussion is out:



PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS WCNTRL KS. AS STORMS INITIATE AND INCREASE IN
COVERAGE...LARGE HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE WILL BE POSSIBLE. TRENDS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED FOR WW ISSUANCE ACROSS THE REGION.

DISCUSSION...CELLS ARE STARTING TO INITIATE IN WCNTRL KS LOCATED
ALONG A MOISTURE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY EVIDENT ON VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY EXTENDING EAST TO WEST ALONG THE I-70 CORRIDOR.

Earlier today, Fort Worth NWS mentioned an enhanced threat of tornadoes along the Red River.

Going to be a long, bumpy evening ahead in NW North Texas, SW Oklahoma, and perhaps points eastward.

I think destructive, potentially extreme, straight-line winds the main threat. The watches I think will have ENORMOUS wind numbers, like 95/95 with mention of over 100 mph.

Maybe a High Risk later (wind 60H)?

I don't see anything that warrants a high risk, but I do believe high winds will be the bigger issue than tornadoes this evening into the overnight hours.

New MCD:

New Tornado Watch out! Watch probabilities are pretty low:

KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 550. MEAN STORM
MOTION VECTOR 28025.

Probs are 80/40 on Watch 323. Unless the tornado threat increases, I would expect the rare PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch this evening in Oklahoma.

We've already gotten hail 3x since last night at my house north of Dallas. The last storm that came through this afternoon was dropping quarter-sized hail w/ maybe a few measuring up to golfball-size. I posted a pic and video in the Texas Summer thread. I wonder what tonight has in store for us.

Large hail (about 2" in diameter) is falling just west of downtown Wichita.
