Mesoscale Discussion 0954
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0256 PM CDT Sat May 25 2024
Areas affected...much of western into central Oklahoma...northwest
Texas...and south-central Kansas
Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely
Valid 251956Z - 252330Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...Tornadic supercells capable of dangerous tornadoes and
extreme hail are expected to develop from northwest Texas into much
of southwest and southern Oklahoma through evening. A similar threat
is expected to develop with rapidly changing conditions this evening
from northern Oklahoma into southern Kansas.
DISCUSSION...Moisture continues to rapidly increase from northwest
TX into southern OK, with 70s F dewpoints and increasing shear.
Extreme instability will favor particularly large supercells, with
right-moving cells possibly traveling for over 100 miles, producing
periodic tornadoes and giant hail.
The initial threat is from activity now developing over northwest
TX, and this should spread north of the Red River and move into
south-central OK by evening.
Farther north, destabilization and a rapidly increasing low-level
jet will result in a developing tornadic supercell threat into the
evening. Storms may initialize near the TX Panhandle/OK border ot
even toward the KS border over the next few hours.
