Areas affected...a small part of north-central Texas into far
south-central Oklahoma
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 252145Z - 260015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...An isolated, marginally severe storm or two may develop
over a small part of North Texas, and perhaps into far south-central
Oklahoma.
DISCUSSION...Visible imagery and radar indicate towering CU and
deepening convective showers along I-35, especially from Dallas
southward. Very little lift is present, though weak surface
convergence is noted. Although the air mass is uncapped due to
temperatures reaching the upper 80s to lower 90s, convection has
been fighting both dry air aloft and lack of a lifting mechanism.
That said, further CU clustering / deepening is expected, and a
storm or two is expected. Any storms that develop will have brief
hail or locally strong gust potential, with relatively short
longevity. The steep lapse rates and modest northwest flow may favor
slow south/southeastward-moving cells affecting a limited area in
the near term.
