Mesoscale Discussion 1305
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1057 PM CDT Wed Jun 24 2026
Areas affected...portions of the Texas Panhandle and South Plains
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 250357Z - 250500Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A few instances of severe hail and wind may occur with
storms progressing out of east-central NM into the TX South Plains
over the next few hours. However, the severe threat should remain
isolated, with a downstream WW issuance not expected.
DISCUSSION...Multicellular outflow dominant storms have exited
Severe Thunderstorm Watch 388 with a recent history of producing
measured severe gusts. These storms are overspreading a relatively
dry boundary layer, approximated by the evaluation of both the AMA
and MAF 00Z observed soundings. Furthermore, the 03Z mesoanalysis
depicts 1000-1500 J/kg DCAPE preceding the storms, suggesting that
ample evaporative cooling potential exists for severe gusts,
especially where cold-pool mergers occur. However, boundary layer
cooling should temper both the spatial and temporal extent of the
severe threat, with 50+ kt gusts and 1+ inch diameter hail expected
to remain isolated overall.
