Mesoscale Discussion 0287
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0618 AM CDT Sat Apr 04 2020
Areas affected...Portions of deep south TX
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 041118Z - 041315Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated large hail may continue for the next couple of
hours. Watch issuance is not expected.
DISCUSSION...A lone supercell has recently strengthened over far
southeastern Jim Hogg County in deep south TX. This storm is located
along a surface boundary, with unimpeded inflow of a very moist
low-level airmass. Recent VWP from KCRP radar shows a veering wind
profile from the surface through mid levels, although there is a
weakness in the flow in the 2-3-km AGL layer. Still, strong
deep-layer shear will continue to support the potential for storm
organization. Latest mesoanalysis also estimates that the airmass
across deep south TX is uncapped along/south of the front. Isolated
instances of large hail will likely be the main threat with the
ongoing supercell as it moves slowly southeastward over the next
couple of hours. It remains unclear if any additional convective
development will occur over adjacent portions of northern Mexico,
and then cross into deep south TX. Regardless, the overall severe
threat is expected to remain very isolated, and watch issuance is
not expected at this time.
