NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0803 AM CDT SUN APR 26 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHEAST TEXAS AND NORTHWEST LOUISIANA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 261303Z - 261430Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...ELEVATED STORMS COULD CONTINUE TO PRODUCE ISOLATED LARGE
HAIL THIS MORNING, BUT STORM COVERAGE IS IN QUESTION AND A WATCH
APPEARS UNLIKELY.
DISCUSSION...ELEVATED STORMS HAVE PERSISTED OVERNIGHT IN SMALL
CLUSTERS, AIDED BY WARM ADVECTION ALONG AN OUTFLOW/BAROCLINIC ZONE.
A COUPLE OF STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED SUPERCELL STRUCTURES, WITH
ISOLATED 2-3 INCH HAIL EARLIER IN NORTH TX. ISOLATED LARGE HAIL MAY
OCCUR WITH NEWER STORM DEVELOPMENT INTO NORTHWEST LA, WHERE PROFILES
DISPLAY ENOUGH VERTICAL SHEAR FOR STORM ORGANIZATION. THE COVERAGE
AND PERSISTENCE OF STORMS THROUGH THE MORNING IS NOT CLEAR, AS IS
THE NEED FOR A WATCH.
