MD 2225 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 700… FOR WEST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 2225 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0802 PM CDT Tue Oct 03 2023 Areas affected...West Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 700... Valid 040102Z - 040300Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 700 continues. SUMMARY...Isolated severe thunderstorms will linger across ww700. DISCUSSION...Weak 850mb inflow is expected to gradually increase across west TX later this evening in response to approaching upper trough. This may aid ongoing convection, to some degree, that has struggled to advance beyond the primary instability axis. While 00z sounding from MAF exhibited substantial buoyancy, boundary-layer cooling and decoupling may ultimately lead to weaker updrafts over the next few hours. Until then, gusty winds and hail are the primary risks with the strongest updrafts. ..Darrow.. 10/04/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...EWX...SJT...MAF...
