    Mesoscale Discussion 0498
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0123 PM CDT Wed May 23 2018

    Areas affected...Eastern New Mexico...Western Texas
    Panhandle...Southwest Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 231823Z - 231930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A severe hail and wind threat will exist this afternoon. A
    WW is not expected at this time, however convective trends will be
    monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery shows cumulus development
    along the the higher terrain of New Mexico southward into southwest
    Texas. Dewpoints of mid 50s to low 60s are generally in place across
    the discussion area with strong heating occurring, particularly in
    southwest Texas. Continued heating and destabilization is expected
    over the next few hours which will lead to MLCAPE values from 1500
    J/kg to 2500 J/kg. While buoyancy will be plentiful, shear will be
    the limiting factor on storm severity -- RAP analysis shows only
    20-30 kts of deep-layer shear across the area. Nevertheless, a
    severe hail and wind threat will exist through the afternoon with
    the strongest storms. With time, storms should congeal and form a
    loosely organized line that will propagate eastward across the Texas
    panhandle, potentially posing a wind threat. A WW is not expected do
    to lack of better deep-layer shear for organization, however
    convective trends will be monitored.

    Areas affected...much of north Texas into Arkansas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 118...119...

    Valid 020437Z - 020630Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 118, 119
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat for localized damaging wind gusts or hail
    persists across a large area tonight.

    DISCUSSION...A slow-moving MCS now stretches from western AR across
    northeast TX, and draped westward across north TX. This system
    continues to process a lot of air with an expansive cloud shield
    noted on IR. A moist,unstable air mass will maintain this system for
    several hours with increased southerly sfc to 850 mb flow of 30-40
    kt.

    Given the primarily east-west orientation of the line beneath modest
    westerlies aloft, little movement has occurred. Eastern portions of
    the line have surged the most, with more of a northeast-southwest
    orientation across AR/ArkLaTex suggesting a better chance of
    damaging winds.

    To the west, more of an anafrontal regime is noted, with new
    convective elements forming and shifting north as the outflow sinks
    south. Meanwhile, the western end of the line across northwest TX
    has maintained the most vigorous convection with large hail
    persisting in cells.

    With a largely uncapped air mass ahead of this MCS, there is little
    reason to forecast much change over the next several hours, except
    for a slow, south to southeast progression spatially.
