Re: Plains Tornado Outbreak: High Risk on 4/14-15 at OK,KS,NEB
PDS Tornado Watch likely farther south in Oklahoma, but maybe not in the near term. An additional Tornado Watch (probably not PDS) also possible in North-Central Texas.
MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0525
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0123 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012
AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL/WRN OK...ERN TX/OK PANHANDLES...WRN NORTH TX
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 141823Z - 142030Z
THE THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING TORNADOES MAY INCREASE
THIS AFTERNOON...AND THE ISSUANCE OF A TORNADO WATCH IS POSSIBLE.
CONVECTIVE INITIATION MAY BECOME OF INCREASING CONCERN INTO
MID-AFTERNOON OWING TO A FEW APPARENT MESOSCALE PROCESSES:
1. LOW-LEVEL ASCENT ALONG A N-S-ORIENTED DRYLINE FROM THE ERN TX/OK
PANHANDLES ACROSS W TX THAT WILL SLOWLY MIX EWD DURING THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS...AND MAY AID IN STORM INITIATION. SFC WINDS HAVE
SLIGHTLY VEERED WEST OF THE DRYLINE DURING THE LAST
HOUR...SUGGESTING THAT THE DRYLINE MAY BE MODESTLY SHARPENING WITH
AN ATTENDANT INCREASE IN LOW-LEVEL ASCENT. THE CUMULUS FIELD JUST
EAST OF THE DRYLINE APPEARS TO HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY AGITATED PER
RECENT VIS SATELLITE IMAGES...WHICH COULD EVOLVE INTO DEEPENING
CONVECTION. STRONG HEATING AND DEEP BOUNDARY-LAYER CIRCULATIONS JUST
WEST OF THE DRYLINE WILL ALSO AID IN INITIATION.
2. A SECONDARY MOISTURE GRADIENT IS NOTED 30-50 MILES WEST OF THE
DRYLINE...WITH ATTENDANT ASCENT AUGMENTED BY AN
EWD-MIGRATING...SUBTLE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH CROSSING THE AREA
PER WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. HIGH-BASED CUMULUS IS DEVELOPING OVER THE
CNTRL TX PANHANDLE WHERE THE MID-LEVEL ASCENT OVERLAYS THE SECONDARY
MOISTURE GRADIENT...AND THESE FEATURES MAY FOCUS INITIATION IN THE
ERN TX PANHANDLE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
3. A DIFFERENTIAL HEATING ZONE IS NOTED OVER WRN OK FROM ROGER MILLS
COUNTY SWD TOWARD WILBARGER COUNTY TX. THE VERTICAL CIRCULATION
WITHIN THIS ZONE OWING TO DIFFERENTIAL DIABATIC HEATING AND
DIFFERENTIAL VERTICAL MIXING RATES COULD ALSO FOCUS CONVECTIVE
INITIATION THIS AFTERNOON.
THUNDERSTORMS MAY ERUPT ALONG THE AFOREMENTIONED FEATURES BETWEEN
1930 AND 2100Z. IF CONVECTIVE INITIATION OCCURS...STORMS WOULD
RAPIDLY BECOME SEVERE. EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR MAGNITUDES OF 45-55 KT
WILL FAVOR RAPID EVOLUTION TO FAST MOVING SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. WITH
531 M2/S2 OF EFFECTIVE SRH ACCORDING TO THE 17Z NORMAN RAOB...AND A
LARGE DEGREE OF STREAMWISE VORTICITY IN THE LOWEST 0.5
KM...TORNADOES...SOME STRONG...WILL BE OF CONCERN...CONTINGENT ON
THE INITIATION OF STORMS. THE MORE SUBSTANTIAL THREAT FOR STRONGER
TORNADOES WILL BE NORTH OF THE RED RIVER...WHERE THE ISSUANCE OF A
PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION TORNADO WATCH WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE
THREAT COULD BE SOMEWHAT LOWER SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER...WHERE
LOW-LEVEL SHEAR MAY NOT BE AS STRONG AND CONVECTIVE COVERAGE NOT AS
GREAT.
ULTIMATELY...THE ISSUANCE OF A TORNADO WATCH WILL BE CONTINGENT ON
AN INCREASINGLY APPARENT UPTICK IN CONVECTION...FOR WHICH SOME
UNCERTAINTY REMAINS. SATELLITE AND OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED...WITH A WW...OR PERHAPS MULTIPLE
WATCHES...POSSIBLY BEING ISSUED BY MID-AFTERNOON.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0526
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0141 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012
AREAS AFFECTED...SWRN NEB THROUGH NWRN KS
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY
VALID 141841Z - 142045Z
STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM SWRN NEB THROUGH NWRN KS BY MID
TO LATE THIS AFTERNOON. SUPERCELLS WITH TORNADOES AND VERY LARGE
HAIL ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE MAIN THREATS. TORNADO WATCH WILL BE
NEEDED BEFORE 20Z.
THIS AFTERNOON A WARM FRONT EXTENDS THROUGH SRN NEB INTO SWRN NEB
WHERE IT INTERSECTS A DRYLINE THAT ARCS SEWD THROUGH THE NERN TIP OF
CO THEN SWD THROUGH WRN KS. LOW CLOUDS ARE DECREASING FROM THE SOUTH
AS BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING DEVELOPS NWD. THIS IS CONTRIBUTING TO
DESTABILIZATION IN WARM SECTOR. LATEST OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWS AN
AXIS OF 500-1000 J/KG MLCAPE FROM SWRN NEB INTO NWRN KS...AND
INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE FURTHER AS DIABATIC WARMING CONTINUES.
BANDS OF HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS HAVE BEEN INCREASING ACROSS NERN CO INTO
WRN NEB...AND THIS MAY BE INDICATIVE OF AGEOSTROPHIC FORCING WITHIN
UPPER JET EXIT REGION THAT WILL BEGIN TO OVERTAKE THE DRYLINE THIS
AFTERNOON. LATEST VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS AN AREA OF CUMULUS
INCREASING IN VICINITY OF THE DRYLINE OVER WCNTRL KS. AS THE CAP
WEAKENS AND THE BOUNDARY LAYER CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE...STORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO INITIATE FROM NWRN KS THROUGH SWRN NEB. EFFECTIVE DEEP
SHEAR OF 50+ KT WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL AND
TORNADOES LIKELY.
