Mesoscale Discussion 0756
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0124 AM CDT Fri May 29 2020
Areas affected...Portions of deep south TX
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 290624Z - 290900Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A line of storms moving slowly eastward may be capable of
producing isolated strong/gusty winds for the next few hours. Watch
issuance appears unlikely at this time.
DISCUSSION...A slow-moving MCS along/just west of the Rio Grande at
0620Z has recently acquired a more eastward movement towards deep
south TX, where a relative minimum in convective inhibition may be
present per mesoanalysis estimates. There is some evidence of
organization with this convection from recent KBRO radar imagery,
with the northern portion of the line perhaps showing a developing
MCV. The airmass across deep south TX remains rather unstable, with
mid to upper 70s surface dewpoints and steep mid-level lapse rates
supporting MUCAPE up to 3000-3500 J/kg. Regardless, both
low/mid-level flow remain very weak across this region, which should
limit the overall intensity of the MCS. Evidence of outflow from
these storms surging several miles ahead of the higher reflectivity
has recently been noted from KBRO. Still, isolated strong/gusty
outflow winds capable of producing occasional damage cannot be ruled
out over the next few hours given the large reservoir of instability
present. Watch issuance will probably not be needed owing to
negligible shear and related slow system movement.
