Mesoscale Discussion 0986
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0905 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023
Areas affected...southern High Plains region
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 267...
Valid 120205Z - 120400Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 267
continues.
SUMMARY...Severe risk continues across areas in/near the southern
half of WW 267, with local risk expected to persist beyond the
scheduled 12/03Z expiration of the watch. New WW may be required.
DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows isolated strong/severe storms
ongoing over the southern Plains region, from northeastern New
Mexico into the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. The storms are
ongoing within/near an axis of 1000 to 2000 J/kg mixed layer CAPE,
that extends from southeastern Colorado to the Texas Panhandle/South
Plains area, near and to the cool side of the backdoor cold front.
With 40 to 50 kt mid-level flow across this region, and a 40 kt
southeasterly low-level jet expected to evolve over the next few
hours, potential for continued/isolated storm development is
evident. Therefore, with hail risk potentially continuing for
several hours locally, new WW issuance may be required.
