    Mesoscale Discussion 2167

    Areas affected...parts of central Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 200416Z - 200615Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A lingering isolated supercell continues to pose a risk
    for severe hail, but still appears likely to steadily, if not more
    rapidly, weaken as it moves southeast of Stephenville, toward the
    Temple vicinity, through 1-2 AM CDT.

    DISCUSSION...An isolated supercell propagating across the
    Stephenville vicinity has begun to weaken, but radar data, including
    the MRMS Mesh, suggests that it is still producing severe hail as it
    moves south-southeastward around 30 kt. This cell appears focused
    within the exit region of a strong northwesterly high-level jet (80+
    kt around 300 mb), where storm-scale dynamic forcing supported by
    strong deep-layer shear likely has slowed storm dissipation.=20
    Activity has been moving into an environment characterized by warmer
    mid-levels with progressively weaker mid-level lapse rates and lower precipitable water. This appears to result in a drop off in CAPE
    from around 1000 J/kg to around 500 J/kg south of Stephenville into
    the Temple vicinity, which probably will result in at least a
    continued gradual weakening of the cell during the next couple of
    hours.
