AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE TEXAS ROLLING PLAINS INTO CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 93...
VALID 032305Z - 040100Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 93
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SCATTERED SUPERCELLS CONTINUE TO POSE A THREAT FOR
LARGE/VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. A TRANSITION TO A
MORE LINEAR STORM MODE AND SEVERE WIND THREAT IS EXPECTED WITH TIME.
THE TORNADO THREAT REMAINS CONDITIONAL ON A DISCRETE STORM
PERSISTING INTO THE EVENING.
DISCUSSION...LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE/RADAR IMAGERY DEPICTS
SCATTERED SUPERCELLS ALONG A COLD FRONT/TRAILING DRYLINE FROM
EASTERN KANSAS SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE TEXAS ROLLING PLAINS. WHILE
STORMS HAVE STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN INTENSITY THUS FAR OWING TO
LINGERING CAPPING, MODERATE BUOYANCY (2000-2500+ J/KG MLCAPE) AND
40-50 KTS OF EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
DISCRETE/SEMI-DISCRETE SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF LARGE/VERY LARGE HAIL
TO 2+ INCHES IN DIAMETER AND SEVERE WIND GUSTS. DEEP-LAYER SHEAR
VECTORS ARE LARGELY ORIENTED PARALLEL TO THE SOUTHEASTWARD
PROGRESSING COLD FRONT, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO FAVOR UPSCALE GROWTH
INTO A MORE LINEAR STORM MODE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS, WITH A
TRANSITION TO SEVERE WIND GUSTS AS THE PRIMARY HAZARD. THE TORNADO
THREAT REMAINS CONDITIONAL ON MAINTAINING A DISCRETE STORM INTO THE
EVENING HOURS WHEN A STRENGTHENING NOCTURNAL LOW-LEVEL JET WILL
FAVOR INCREASING LOW-LEVEL SHEAR/HODOGRAPH CURVATURE. THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL FOR DISCRETE STORM MAINTENANCE APPEARS TO BE ACROSS
NORTHWEST TEXAS INTO SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A WEAK
SURFACE LOW LOCATED NEAR THE COLD FRONT/DRYLINE INTERSECTION/
