Mesoscale Discussion 0350

0101 AM CDT Wed Mar 30 2022
Areas affected...Central and North Texas
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 73...
Valid 300601Z - 300800Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 73
continues.
SUMMARY...A threat for large hail and isolated wind damage will
continue for several more hours across parts of central and north
Texas. The threat is expected to move northeastward with time with
most of the threat contained within the current weather watches over
the next few hours.
DISCUSSION...A broken line of strong thunderstorms is ongoing across
the western Texas Hill Country, near an axis of instability with
RAP-analyzed MLCAPE around 1000 J/kg and 500-700 mb lapse rates near
8.0 C/km. The thermodynamic environment coupled with 0-6 km shear
near 55 knots, evident on the Dyess Air Force Base WSR-88D VWP, will
be favorable for large hail with the more intense cells. A
wind-damage threat will also be possible, but should remain isolated
due to a capping inversion that is evident on forecast soundings.
The severe threat will continue to move northeastward over the next
several hours and should mostly be contained by the ongoing severe
watch and tornado watch that is located further to the northeast.
