Mesoscale Discussion 0698
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1136 PM CDT Sat May 23 2020
Areas affected...West-central and North-central Texas
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 214...
Valid 240436Z - 240630Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 214
continues.
SUMMARY...A wind damage and hail threat will continue across
west-central Oklahoma and north-central Texas for a few more hours.
The severe threat is expected to move into parts of central and
south-central Oklahoma where a local extension has been done for the
current watch.
DISCUSSION...A nearly continuous convective line is ongoing along a
north-to-south corridor of moderate instability from west-central
Oklahoma into north-central Texas. A very moist airmass is located
to the east of the line with dewpoints in the lower 70s F. The RAP
is analyzing moderate to strong instability along this corridor with
MLCAPE in the 3000 to 3500 J/kg range. The Oklahoma City WSR-88D VWP
shows 0-6 km shear around 25 kt. The instability and shear should be
enough to maintain a wind damage threat with the line for a few more
hours. Hail could also occur with the more intense parts of the
line.
