Mesoscale Discussion 0119
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0601 PM CST Mon Feb 10 2020
Areas affected...far northeast Texas across northern Louisiana
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 110001Z - 110130Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...A gradual increase in storm coverage and intensity is
expected through the evening. All severe weather hazards will be
possible, although the threat may remain isolated.
DISCUSSION...Convective coverage has started to increase along the
cold front in eastern Texas and along the warm front in northern
Louisiana as mid-level ascent overspreads the region. Some stronger
updrafts are possible across this region through the evening and
into the overnight hours. Temperatures south of the warm front are
currently in the mid 70s with dewpoints in the upper 60s yielding
MLCAPE around 1000 J/kg. Strong effective shear (60 to 70 kts) will
support supercellular structures with any stronger updrafts.
Low-level flow is expected to increase over the next 2 hours as the
low-level jet increases from 30 to 50 knots. Therefore, there will
be at least some threat for severe storms this evening and into the
early overnight hours. All severe weather hazards will be possible
including isolated large hail and damaging winds and/or a tornado,
but a watch is uncertain for what may be a relatively isolated
threat.
