    Mesoscale Discussion 0857
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1257 PM CDT Sun Jun 24 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of Oklahoma and north Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 241757Z - 241930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Some potential exists for an ongoing thunderstorm complex
    to intensify and build farther southeast across Oklahoma, with an
    attendant threat of damaging winds and isolated hail. Watch issuance
    could be needed.

    DISCUSSION...A convective system is building southeast across
    Oklahoma early this afternoon, and a growing potential for damaging
    winds and isolated large hail may exist. CAM/hi-res guidance
    continues to handle this scenario poorly, with a general inability
    to maintain robust convection along the mature cold pool across
    western Oklahoma. Conversely, visible imagery and KFDR ZDR data
    highlight continued vigorous updraft accelerations along the
    southwestern flank of this complex. Therefore, it appears
    convergence along the cold pool remains sufficient to force parcels
    through dry air/inhibition around 700-850mb (sampled by a 17Z OUN
    sounding) and achieve sustained vertical accelerations within an EML
    plume around 700-500mb.

    Persistent heating ahead of this boundary, combined with new
    initiation near an intersection with a residual outflow over
    southern OK, may gradually increase a threat of damaging winds and
    hail from northwest Texas into southern/central Oklahoma.
    Organizational trends with this convective cluster could require
    watch issuance.
