MD 0964 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH LIKELY FOR PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS


Mesoscale Discussion 0964
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0208 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023

Areas affected...parts of north Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

Valid 101908Z - 102215Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

SUMMARY...Storms are expected to develop after 20Z near or just
west/southwest of the Metroplex. Damaging hail and winds will be
possible.

DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows an outflow boundary stalled near
the Metroplex and extending east/southeast into northwest LA.
Meanwhile, a low-pressure trough continues westward into much of
northwest TX.

Visible imagery show Cu fields beginning to develop near these
boundaries, and into central TX near the low-level heat axis.
Plentiful moisture exists south of the outflow boundary, with 70s F
dewpoints contributing to around 3000 J/kg MLCAPE. Low-level
convergence is currently maximized in a several county area
surrounding the Metroplex, where the outflow boundary intersects the
veered winds related to the low-level heat axis and surface trough.

Several more hours of heating will lead to storms developing in
these areas, with movement in an east/southeast direction through
evening. Isolated significant hail will be possible with cellular
storm mode, with increasing threat of damaging winds/downbursts as
storms congeal over time. As such, a watch will be needed soon.
