Areas affected...much of eastern Oklahoma...western Arkansas...and
far northeast Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20
Valid 081816Z - 082045Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...Scattered severe storms with very large hail and a few
tornadoes (possibly strong) are expected by late afternoon from
eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas, and into parts of northern
Texas.
DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery as well as surface
observations show a cold front extending from far southeast KS and
northeast OK southward toward the Red River. Additionally, a dryline
extends roughly from just west of the Metroplex southwestward
towards Del Rio TX.
A very moist and unstable air mass exists across the region, with
MLCAPE of 3500-4000 J/kg common. Low-level convergence continues to
increase along the boundaries, with winds gusting to 15-20 kt out of
the west behind them.
Effective deep-layer shear of 45-50 kt across the entire length of
the boundaries, combined with the very strong instability will favor
the development of scattered supercells, potentially producing 3-4"
diameter hail by early evening. Tornadoes, a few of which may be
strong, will also be possible given the tremendous thermodynamic
energy, favorable storm mode, and sufficient 0-1 SRH over 100 m2/s2.
