Mesoscale Discussion 0200
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0208 AM CDT Thu Mar 19 2020
Areas affected...western north Texas
Concerning...Tornado Watch 55...
Valid 190708Z - 190815Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 55 continues.
SUMMARY...Strong supercell likely produced a significant tornado
continues moving east-northeastward within northern portions of WW
55.
DISCUSSION...Latest KDYX radar loop shows a well-organized supercell
moving northeastward at 40 kt across southwestern Shackelford
County. A low-level mesocyclone with rotational velocity in excess
of 70kt has been observed consistently with this storm over the past
20 minutes, with a pronounced CC min evident. This suggests high
probability that a strong tornado occurred in southwestern portions
of the county.
With the environment featuring mixed-layer CAPE in excess of 1500
J/kg, and 0-1km SRH 600 m2/s2 per latest KDYX WSR-88D VWP, expect
this storm to persist in the short term. While the circulation has
weakened in the most recent scans, additional cycling may occur; the
current track of the storm would suggest areas in and around Albany
TX will be affected in the next half hour.
