Mesoscale Discussion 0489
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0615 PM CDT Tue Apr 28 2020
Areas affected...northeast Oklahoma...southwest Missouri and
northwest Arkansas
Concerning...Tornado Watch 150...
Valid 282315Z - 290115Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 150 continues.
SUMMARY...Storms will continue to pose a risk for damaging wind,
large hail and a few tornadoes as they move through northeast OK,
southwest MO and northwest AR through 01Z.
DISCUSSION...Early this evening a broken squall line extends from
southwest MO through northeast and north-central OK moving southeast
around 35 kt. The atmosphere remains very unstable downstream from
the line with 3000-3500 J/kg MLCAPE supported by mid-upper 60s F
dewpoints and steep lapse rates. VWP data from Tulsa has indicated
some increase low-level shear during the past hour with 0-1 km
storm-relative helicity around 250 m2/s2 from northeast OK into
southwest MO to the south and southeast of a meso-low circulation.
Otherwise, 40-50 kt effective bulk shear remains more than
sufficient for organized structures including a few bowing segments
and embedded supercells.
