...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
NORTHERN TEXAS INTO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe gusts and perhaps a
few tornadoes will be possible across parts of north Texas into
central Oklahoma Monday morning. A marginal risk for severe gusts is
expected across a relatively large area during the afternoon and
evening from the eastern parts of the southern and central Plains
eastward into the Ozarks and lower Mississippi Valley.
...Synopsis...
A negatively tilted and pronounced mid-level trough over the
southern Plains will quickly eject into the MS Valley in tandem with
a rapidly deepening surface low tomorrow (Monday). A potentially
severe squall line is expected to be ongoing at the start of the
period across north TX into central OK. Through the afternoon
though, stronger upper support should become increasingly displaced
from the better low-level moisture and instability to the south,
supporting a more isolated severe threat across portions of the MO
Valley into the southern MS Valley later in the day toward evening.
An additional round of isolated strong to potentially severe
thunderstorms may also develop closer to the surface low over
central and eastern KS tomorrow afternoon as well.
...Southern Plains into the MO Valley...
A QLCS/squall-line should be in progress immediately ahead of a
surface low across southwestern OK into northwestern TX at 12Z
Monday morning. The squall line will continue to move east-northeast
with the surface low amid a 70+ kt southerly low-level jet,
overspread by 70-90 kts of southwesterly 500 mb flow from the
ejecting trough. Large and curved hodographs should precede the
squall line amid 500 J/kg SBCAPE, driven mainly by mid 60s F surface
dewpoints beneath poor mid-level lapse rates. Despite meager
buoyancy through the troposphere, strong forcing for ascent and
impressive deep-layer/low-level shear profiles may still support
severe gusts and a few tornadoes during the morning hours.
Through the afternoon and evening hours, QG ascent associated with
the northeastward ejecting mid-level trough, and the surface low,
will outpace the richer low-level moisture closer to the Red River,
which may dampen the severe threat to a degree. Nonetheless, the
persistence of strong shear and forcing with the eastward-tracking
squall line will support the potential for a severe gust or a
tornado.
...Southeast TX into the Lower MS Valley...
As the mid-level trough and surface cyclone track toward the Mid-MS
Valley through the day, trailing portions of the aforementioned
squall line will interact with an increasingly moist and unstable
boundary layer across southeastern TX into the Lower MS Valley.
Furthermore, guidance consensus shows that the entrance region of
the low-level jet may also persist across eastern TX and points east
ahead of the squall line, encouraging modestly elongated and curved
hodographs and 200+ m2/s2 0-3 km SRH. As such, a couple of severe
gusts and perhaps a tornado or two may develop if more pronounced
mesovortices or embedded supercell structures can develop within the
squall line.
...Central and eastern KS...
Behind the initial squall line and broader
cloudy/precipitation-laden WAA regime, some clearing may take place
immediately ahead of the surface low track, allowing for marginal boundary-layer destabilization. As such, a couple of thunderstorms
may develop ahead of the surface low amid modestly steep
tropospheric lapse rates and unidirectional vertical wind
profiles/strong speed shear. Any of the more robust updrafts that
can develop may produce a severe gust, tornado, or instance of
marginally severe hail during the afternoon.
