Valid 282311Z - 290030Z
CORRECTED FOR SPELLING ERROR
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 182 continues.
SUMMARY...Initial supercells will pose mainly a risk of very large
hail and locally severe wind gusts. The tornado risk will increase
into the evening as the low-level jet strengthens (00-01Z time
frame).
DISCUSSION...Initial discrete supercell has developed immediately
south of the Red River in western North TX, where convergence is
maximized near the dryline amid an uncapped air mass (per 21Z
special NSSL sounding from Quanah, TX). Strong surface-based
instability (3000 J/kg MLCAPE), driven by a warm/moist boundary
layer beneath very steep midlevel lapse rates, will favor continued
rapid updraft intensification. Around 50 kt of effective shear
oriented oblique to the low-level convergence will support discrete/semi-discrete supercells. The initial hodograph (sampled by
FDR VWP) depicts weak winds in the 1-2-km AGL layer, despite
favorable deep-layer shear for supercells. This should initially
favor some splitting supercells with a risk of very large hail.
However, as the low-level jet rapidly increases, storms should
intensify into dominant right-movers with an increasing supercell
tornado risk. Current indications are that this evolution will occur
in the 00-01Z time frame. The strong buoyancy, discrete/
semi-discrete mode, and increasing streamwise vorticity (around 400
m2/s2 effective SRH), will support a strong/intense tornado threat.
