janetjanet998 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 SOUTHERN PORTION OF GULF COAST STATES PRIMARY CHANGE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST HAS BEEN TO EXTEND THE ENH RISK AREA FARTHER EAST ALONG SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE GULF COAST STATES. STORMS THAT DEVELOP OVER TX THIS AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO EVOLVE INTO AN MCS WITH LIKELIHOOD OF EMBEDDED ORGANIZED STORM STRUCTURES ESPECIALLY ON THE SOUTHERN END NEAR ADVANCING WARM FRONT THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT. AN INTENSE 60 + KT SOUTHWESTERLY LOW-LEVEL JET ACCOMPANYING THE PROGRESSIVE SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SUPPORT LARGE 0-2 KM HODOGRAPHS WITHIN A STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. BOWING SEGMENTS AND EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WIND AND A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobChgo19 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 100 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 315 PM CDT Fri Apr 23 2021 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Southwest Oklahoma Western North Texas * Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 315 PM until 900 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes possible Widespread large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3.5 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely SUMMARY...Isolated supercell thunderstorms are expected to develop across the watch area this afternoon and early evening. Very large hail and damaging winds are the main threats, but the most intense cells may also pose a risk of tornadoes. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles north and south of a line from 20 miles south southwest of Childress TX to 45 miles east northeast of Wichita Falls TX. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Mesoscale Discussion 0409 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0328 PM CDT Fri Apr 23 2021 Areas affected...portions of west-central and north Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 98... Valid 232028Z - 232230Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 98 continues. SUMMARY...A few intense cells are possible the next 2-4 hours across parts of northern/west-central Texas. Large hail and damaging gusts are the main hazards expected with this activity. DISCUSSION...Additional thunderstorms are develop and/or strengthening just ahead of the eastward-advancing dryline this afternoon. This activity is moving into an airmass that has seen less thunderstorm activity early in the day compared to areas to the east and south, and where dewpoints have climbed into the mid to upper 60s. Increasing low level moisture beneath midlevel lapse rates around 7.5-8.5 C/km is resulting in 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE, supporting storm intensification. Furthermore, regional VWP data suggest shear profiles have continued to improve/strengthen which should allow for some better-organized cells. 20z experimental Warn-on-Forecast ensemble guidance also indicates a few intense cells are possible across the MCD area, including western portions of the Fort Worth metro area, over the next 2-4 hours, potentially producing large hail and damaging gusts. ..Leitman.. 04/23/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Quincy Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 One observation I’ve noted about the NW Texas tornado watch is that low-level hodographs are still relatively small. 0-1km SRH via 21z mesoanalysis is below 100 m2/s2 near and immediately ahead of the arc of cells.

CheeselandSkies Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 If this storm holds together on that track it could be a threat to the Vernon, TX area.
