Mesoscale Discussion 1196
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1104 AM CDT Sun Jun 08 2025
Areas affected...portions of the OK/TX Panhandles into western OK
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 081604Z - 081800Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Elevated thunderstorms may produce isolated large hail and
strong gusts through early afternoon before more intense convection
develops by mid/late afternoon.
DISCUSSION...Visible satellite trends have shows towering cumulus
and isolated thunderstorm development late this morning in a
low-level warm advection regime. Strong capping is still in place
across the region, with temperatures still mainly in the 70s in the
OK/TX Panhandles, through strong heating is occurring and
temperatures have warmed into the mid/upper 80s across western OK.
This initial thunderstorm activity will remain elevated, but could
become surface based over the next few hours via mixing and
additional heating/moistening. Regardless, this convection is
developing within a strong MUCAPE gradient near the western OK/TX
Panhandle border, and within 30-40 kt effective shear magnitudes.
Very steep midlevel lapse rates are also in place across the region.
As a result, even this initially elevated convection could pose a
risk for large hail.
The need for a watch with this early activity is uncertain and
trends will be monitored. Additional, more intense and surface-based
convection is still expected to develop by mid/late afternoon and
will be addressed in subsequent MCDs as the risk evolves over time.
