    Mesoscale Discussion 1903

    Areas affected...Parts of OK into the ArkLaTex region

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 080607Z - 080800Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A threat for at least isolated hail and severe gusts will
    persist overnight. Watch issuance is possible.

    DISCUSSION...At 06 UTC, a long-lived storm cluster is moving into
    northern OK from southern KS, while new development of vigorous
    convection has occurred over southeast OK. Steep midlevel lapse
    rates (as noted on the 00Z OUN sounding and short-term forecast
    soundings) and rich moisture in the 850-700 mb layer are supporting
    MUCAPE in the 2000-3000 J/kg range from central OK toward the
    ArkLaTex. Meanwhile, moderate midlevel westerlies are supporting
    effective shear in excess of 40 kt, with long, straight hodographs
    and strong anvil-level flow. These factors are conditionally
    supportive of elevated supercells with large to very large hail.=20

    Ongoing convection will likely be sustained for several hours within
    a low-level warm advection regime. However, evolution of convection
    early this morning remains somewhat uncertain. The best chance for
    elevated supercells appears to be from southeast OK into southwest
    AR, where a notable hail threat could evolve. The cluster across
    northern OK may also intensify as it moves into a region of greater
    elevated buoyancy, posing at least an isolated hail and severe gust
    threat. Depending on short-term trends, watch issuance is possible
    for parts of the region.
