MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1002
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0117 PM CDT SAT JUN 06 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO
WESTERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 061817Z - 061945Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT
SUMMARY...WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY POSE A LOW-END RISK FOR
ISOLATED STRONG TO OCCASIONALLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS, SMALL HAIL, AND
A LANDSPOUT OR TWO.
DISCUSSION...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A SURFACE LOW WEST OF
THE OKLAHOMA CITY METRO, DOWNSTREAM OF A MID-LEVEL CLOSED LOW/MCV.
MORE PREVALENT CLOUD COVER IS TEMPERING DIURNAL
HEATING/DESTABILIZATION ACROSS PORTIONS OF THIS AREA COMPARED TO
AREAS FARTHER SOUTH, BUT GUIDANCE STILL SUGGESTS 1000 TO LOCALLY
1500 J/KG MLCAPE WILL BE PRESENT BY PEAK HEATING THIS AFTERNOON.
THIS IS EXPECTED TO SUPPORT WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON FROM THE EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO
WESTERN/CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. DEEP-LAYER FLOW IS ALSO WEAKER ACROSS THIS
REGION, WITH EFFECTIVE SHEAR ANALYZED AT 20-25 KTS OR LESS. WHILE
THIS SHOULD LARGELY INHIBIT UPDRAFT/STORM ORGANIZATION, HIGH PWAT
CONTENTS (1.6 INCHES OR GREATER PER LATEST OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS) MAY
PROMOTE OCCASIONAL STRONG WIND GUSTS WITH WATER-LOADED DOWNBURSTS
AND PERHAPS AN INSTANCE OR TWO OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. ENHANCED
SURFACE VERTICAL VORTICITY IN THE VICINITY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
SURFACE LOW AND INCREASING 0-3 KM CAPE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WILL
ALSO FOSTER A RISK FOR A LANDSPOUT OR TWO. LASTLY, SMALL TO PERHAPS
MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL MAY ACCOMPANY THE MOST ROBUST UPDRAFTS. WATCH
ISSUANCE IS NOT EXPECTED GIVEN THE LIMITED MAGNITUDE/COVERAGE OF THE
SEVERE THREAT.
