    Mesoscale Discussion 0186

    Areas affected...Northwest TX...Southwest OK

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely

    Valid 130531Z - 130630Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Ongoing well-organized convective line is expected to move
    out of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 18 by 06Z. A downstream severe
    thunderstorm watch will likely be need across northwest TX and
    adjacent portions of southwest OK within the hour.

    DISCUSSION...Strongly forced convective line currently moving
    through the southern TX Panhandle and TX South Plains has
    intensified over the past hour or so with severe winds gusts were
    reported as it moved through the TX South Plains. Increased
    northeastward motion has also been observed during this time as the
    orientation of the line has become more orthogonal to the flow
    aloft. Current storm motion is around 50 kt, taking the convective
    line to the edge of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 18 by 06Z.

    Downstream airmass is relatively stable in the low-level but steep
    mid-level lapse rates coupled with continued moisture advection and
    strong lift should still allow for enough instability to support
    deep convection, particularly given the already organized structure
    of the convective line. Recent KLBB radar imagery has shown low
    reflectivity behind the line, suggestive of strong
    subsidence/rear-inflow. Very strong fall/rise pressure change
    couplet observed is also evidence of a strong, well-organized
    system. As such, a downstream severe thunderstorm watch will likely
    be need across northwest TX and adjacent portions of southwest OK
    within the hour.
