    Mesoscale Discussion 1275

    Areas affected...Central to southern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 231844Z - 232045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...An uptick in thunderstorm coverage is expected over the
    next 1-2 hours as outflow boundaries begin to collide. Storms may be
    capable of large hail and severe gusts. Watch issuance may be
    needed.

    DISCUSSION...Two outflow boundaries are apparent in surface
    observations and radar imagery across central OK. Recent development
    along the northern outflow boundary near/west of the OKC metro has
    produce a strong wind signature with observed gusts between 50-60
    mph per Mesonet observations. Additionally, MRMS VII trends show
    periodic severe hail signals. Given a nose of 1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE
    in place ahead of both outflow boundaries, additional thunderstorm
    development appears likely in the next couple of hours. 30-35 knot
    0-6 km BWD values observed at KILX ahead of the boundaries suggests
    storms may see transient organization with an attendant hail/wind
    threat prior to destructive interference from neighboring cells
    and/or cold outflow. The expected transient nature of the convection
    (similar to what is being observed across southern OK) casts
    uncertainty on whether the severe threat will be sufficiently
    prolonged and/or widespread to warrant additional watch issuance
    and/or expansion of WW 380.
