ISOLD SUPERCELLS HAVE FORMED ALONG A WEAK BOUNDARY...PARTIALLY
INDUCED BY SELY OUTFLOW WINDS FROM THE DOWNSTREAM MCS. MESOANALYSIS
PLACES THIS BOUNDARY FROM COOKE COUNTY SWWD ACROSS DFW METROPLEX
THEN SWWD INTO HAMILTON COUNTY.

HEATING WAS MINIMAL...BUT JUST SUFFICIENT FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION
GIVEN THE RESIDUAL BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE IN PLACE. 00Z FWD
SOUNDING SHOWED STEEP LAPSE RATES ALOFT AND 39 KT OF 0-6KM
SHEAR...SUFFICIENT FOR ISOLD SUPERCELLS WITH LARGE HAIL. TORNADOES
CANNOT BE RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE LOW LCLS. BUT...MAIN
NEGATIVE AGAINST MORE WIDESPREAD TSTM INITIATION HAS BEEN AND WILL
CONTINUE TO BE WEAK LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE. ANY SVR THREAT SHOULD
DIMINISH AS THE SUN SETS.
