    Mesoscale Discussion 2272

    Areas affected...portions of north TX...southeast OK...and southwest
    AR

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

    Valid 201311Z - 201515Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail around a half inch to near one inch in
    diameter is possible the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...A deepening field of altocumulus is evident in IR
    imagery this morning across north TX. Based on 12z FWD RAOB, these
    clouds are likely rooted around 600 mb. This indicates increasing
    ascent associated with the approaching upper trough is spreading
    east, and aiding in modest growth over the past hour. Regional 12z
    RAOBs still indicate quite a bit of low-level inhibition, with
    layers of dry air above shallow boundary-layer moisture. Moistening
    and heating through mid to late morning will continue to improve the thermodynamic environment, while large-scale ascent erodes capping.
    In the short term, steepening midlevel lapse rates and favorable
    vertical shear may support transient strong cells capable of
    marginally severe hail through around 16z. A severe thunderstorm
    watch is not expected at this time, as initial convection is
    expected to only slowly increase in intensity the next few hours,
    but trends will be monitored closely.
