Mesoscale Discussion 0787
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1212 PM CDT Sat May 25 2019
Areas affected...Eastern New Mexico and west Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 251712Z - 251915Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Storms are developing along the dryline in eastern NM/west
TX with storm coverage increasing throughout the afternoon. Severe
hail/wind are the main threats.
DISCUSSION...Storms will continue to initiate along the dryline this
afternoon with a moist airmass in place (60-70 F surface dewpoints)
and strong insolation. Per water vapor imagery, a mid-level
shortwave trough is also likely contributing to storm initiation
along the dryline. Storms will be developing in a conducive severe
environment characterized by 2000-3000+ J/kg of MLCAPE and 40-45
knots of effective bulk shear. Large hail and damaging winds will be
the primary threats given the high/strong CAPE/shear, although the
tornado risk will increase this afternoon/evening as the LLJ
strengthens and storms move into an environment with better
low-level veering wind profiles.
