Mesoscale Discussion 0499
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0626 PM CDT Fri Apr 15 2022
Areas affected...Parts of eastern OK and far western AR
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 152326Z - 160130Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...The severe weather risk may increase through this evening.
If storms can develop and beco*e sustained in the next couple hours,
all hazards will be possible and a WW may be needed.
DISCUSSION...Latest visible satellite imagery shows a shallow
cumulus field along a diffuse dryline extending southward across
east-central OK. A few cumulus towers are attempting to deepen in
the vicinity of the dryline, though weak convergence and minimal
large-scale ascent cast uncertainty on convective initiation and
maintenance. East of the dryline, dewpoints in the lower 60s will
continue spreading northward, supporting 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE. Long
hodographs with ample boundary-layer streamwise vorticity would
support supercells capable of all hazards if they can initiate and
maintain themselves. Trends will continue to be monitored for
potential watch issuance.
