    Mesoscale Discussion 1584
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1053 PM CDT Sun Oct 14 2018

    Areas affected...Edwards Plateau and the TX Hill Country

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 150353Z - 150630Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will continue to develop into the early
    overnight across the Edwards Plateau and Texas Hill Country region,
    with isolated large hail and damaging winds being the primary
    severe-weather threats. Current forecast consensus suggests severe
    coverage will not warrant the issuance of a watch, though convective
    trends will be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in radar imagery and surface observations during
    the last couple of hours (since 0030-01Z) indicated thunderstorm
    development across the Edwards Plateau has been mainly associated
    with forcing for ascent with frontal uplift north of the cold
    frontal passage. At 0340Z, this boundary had advanced south into
    northern Williamson County to Gillespie County and then westward
    through northern Edwards and Val Verde Counties, with a continued
    southward movement expected. An increase in surface-based
    inhibition, given cooling surface temperatures, should limit the
    potential additional warm sector storms. The strong or likely
    severe storm that was moving east through northern Coahuila, Mexico
    has weakened substantially, likely signaling the increasing
    surface-based inhibition.

    Meanwhile, the presence of moderate elevated instability and strong
    effective bulk shear (35-55 kt) will support the potential for
    organized updrafts capable of producing large hail and damaging
    winds with any sustained storms. Given that the primary forcing for
    ascent is the cold front, with most storms being elevated or
    undercut quickly by the front, the overall coverage for severe
    storms remains uncertain. Current trends in radar imagery would
    suggest a low probability for watch issuance at this time, as storm
    intensities are remaining low.
