CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 59...

VALID 170441Z - 170615Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 59 CONTINUES.

POTENTIAL FOR SVR WIND AND A FEW TORNADOES PERSISTS WITH BAND OF
TSTMS MOVING EWD ACROSS WW AREA. THIS ACTIVITY MAY ACCELERATE
AMIDST STRENGTHENING DEEP-LAYER WINDS. AS PARENT TROUGH CONTINUES
TO EJECT NEWD INTO OK...AND ASSOCIATED GRADIENT FLOW ENHANCEMENTS
SPREAD ACROSS REGION...POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING GUSTS MAY INCREASE.
DURING PAST 3 HOURS...500 MB WINDS HAVE STRENGTHENED FROM 55-75 KT
AT CENTRAL LA PROFILER. POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND INCLUDES SOME
AREAS N AND NE OF EXISTING WW...IN AND NEAR N-CENTRAL/NERN LA.
ANOTHER WW MAY BE REQUIRED FOR THOSE AREAS.

MEANWHILE...NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL PROFILES ARE EVIDENT IN
VWP/PROFILER DATA AND RUC SOUNDINGS ABOVE RELATIVELY WEAK/SHALLOW
STABLE LAYER NEAR SFC. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT CONTINUED DOMINANCE OF
LINEAR CONVECTIVE MODE...WITH POTENTIAL FOR BOTH DAMAGING GUSTS AND
BRIEF TORNADOES MAXIMIZED LOCALLY INVOF BOW/LEWP FEATURES. MUCAPES
AROUND 1000 J/KG STILL ARE EVIDENT ACROSS THIS AREA...THOUGH RUC
FCST SOUNDINGS INDICATE MLCAPES HAVE DROPPED TO BELOW 200 J/KG
BECAUSE OF WEAK LAPSE RATES AND STABLE AREAS IN LOW LEVELS.

LCH IS LAUNCHING RAOB AHEAD OF CONVECTIVE BAND TO SAMPLE PROXIMITY
INFLOW AIR MASS ACROSS SWRN LA.

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY

VALID 162000Z - 162130Z

A TORNADO WATCH APPEARS LIKELY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE TX COASTAL
PLAIN...AND PERHAPS INTO WRN LA...WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR.

SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IS LIKELY TO INCREASE AND EXPAND EWD FROM
PARTS OF CNTRL/SCNTRL TX TO SERN TX OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS A
STRONG MID/UPPER TROUGH PIVOTS NEWD FROM THE BIG BEND AREA. POTENT
MID LEVEL WIND FIELDS...CHARACTERIZED BY 70-90KT SWLY 500MB
FLOW...WILL SPREAD EAST ATOP CONFLUENT SELY LOW LEVEL FLOW OF
30-40KT TO RESULT IN A VERY FAVORABLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT FOR
ROTATING STORMS/MESOCYCLONES. GIVEN INFLUX OF RICH GULF MOISTURE
INTO THE DEVELOPING CONVECTION...STORMS SHOULD EXPAND IN COVERAGE
AND INTENSITY THROUGH THE EVENING.

AT PRESENT...MUCH OF WARM SECTOR AIR MASS REMAINS CAPPED AS
INDICATED IN 18Z CRP SOUNDING. THIS CAPPING IS ALSO EVIDENT IN
WIDESPREAD SC CLOUD DECK OBSERVED IN SATL IMAGERY. HOWEVER...ALL
INDICATIONS ARE THAT FORCING ALONG THE STRONGLY CONVERGENT SURFACE
BOUNDARY AND DRYLINE INTERSECTION...OVER WILSON COUNTY...AND
APPROACH OF MID/UPPER TROUGH...WILL EFFECTIVELY ERODE THE CAP AND
LEAD TO SURFACE-BASED TSTM DEVELOPMENT NEXT FEW HOURS. GIVEN DEGREE
OF EFFECTIVE SHEAR/HELICITY ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN...INITIALLY
DISCRETE STORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP MESOCYCLONES. TORNADO POTENTIAL
WILL EXIST WITH THIS ACTIVITY INTO THE EVENING PRIOR TO MORE LINEAR
STRUCTURE EVOLVING AS COLD FRONT STRENGTHENS AND DEVELOPS EAST.

..THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER PARTS OF ERN TX INTO WRN
LA...

..THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS MUCH OF TX ACROSS THE
LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY...

..SRN PLNS TO LWR MS VLY...
19Z SFC ANALYSIS PLACES A FRONT FROM JUST E OF THE DFW METROPLEX SWD
ALONG THE ESCARPMENT...THEN SWD INTO S TX. COLD AIR HAS SLOWED EWD
SEEPAGE OWING TO DEVELOPMENT OF A SFC LOW NEAR KSAT. THIS LOW WILL
MIGRATE NWD ALONG THE BOUNDARY INTO NCNTRL/NERN TX BY THIS EVENING
TOWARD A REGION OF INCREASING PRESSURE FALLS. AS A RESULT...
RESIDENT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE OVER SERN TX WILL ADVECT NWD INTO THE
ARKLATEX REGION WITH THE LOW-LEVEL STABLE LAYER...EVIDENT ON THE 18Z
SHV RAOB...ERODING WITH TIME INTO THE ARKLATEX REGION.

VSBL SATL PICTURE PORTRAYS PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER IN THE PRE-FRONTAL
WARM SECTOR WITH SHALLOW CONVECTION DEVELOPING BENEATH A STOUT CAP
AS NOTED ON THE RECENT CRP RAOB. THIS CAP IS LIKELY WEAKER FARTHER
N IN THE KIAH REGION PER ACARS...BUT LACK OF ROBUST SFC HEATING IS
PROBLEMATIC. NONETHELESS...THE CAP WILL GRADUALLY ERODE AS ASCENT
ASSOCD WITH THE W TX UPR LOW ARRIVES LATER THIS AFTN. THIS WILL
RELEASE THE BUILDING INSTABILITY AND CONTRIBUTE TO DEEPENING
CONVECTION ALONG/E OF THE FRONT FROM SERN OK SWD INTO SCNTRL TX.

PRIMARY SVR CONCERN THROUGH ABOUT 21Z WILL BE FOR ELEVATED TSTMS AND
LARGE HAIL RISKS ATOP THE COLD DOME FROM SWRN/SCNTRL OK INTO THE BIG
COUNTRY/HILL COUNTRY REGIONS OF NCNTRL TX. FWD SOUNDING EXHIBITED A
7.2 DEG C PER KM MID-LVL LAPSE RATE AND MUCAPE OF NEARLY 2000 J PER
KG. INCREASING EFFECTIVE SHEAR THROUGH THE AFTN WILL BE FAVORABLE
FOR ELEVATED SUPERCELLS.

HIGHER SVR POTENTIAL WILL DEVELOP AFTER ABOUT 21Z AS PRE-FRONTAL
SFC-BASED TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN ACROSS ERN/SERN TX. PAT
PROFILER AND FCST HODOGRAPHS INDICATE 0-1KM SRH IN EXCESS OF 250
M2/S2 AND 6KM SHEAR OF 45-50 KTS...INDICATIVE OF SUPERCELLS. GIVEN
THE LOW LCL/S IN PLACE AND PROSPECTS FOR DISCRETE CELLS...RISKS FOR
A COUPLE OF STRONG TORNADOES WILL CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SCNTRL/SERN TX/UPR TX COAST. AGAIN...PRIMARY PROBLEM WILL BE IF THE
WARM SECTOR CAN DESTABILIZE SUFFICIENTLY TO SUPPORT VIGOROUS
UPDRAFTS AND EVENTUAL ROOTING INTO THE BOUNDARY LAYER.

OTHERWISE...ASIDE FROM THE DISCRETE STORM POSSIBILITIES...IT IS MUCH
MORE CERTAIN THAT A STRONGLY FORCED SQUALL LINE WILL EVOLVE ALONG
THE COLD FRONT...GRADUALLY BUILDING SWWD INTO THE STRONGER CAP INTO
SCNTRL TX. DMGG WIND GUSTS WILL BE QUITE LIKELY AS THE LINE
ACCELERATES INTO SERN TX AND THE SABINE RVR VLY. NRN EXTENT OF THE
LINE N OF THE ARKLATEX WILL BE ROOTED ATOP A RESIDUAL STABLE LAYER
WITH DECREASING SVR THREATS AT MORE NLY LATITUDES. SRN EDGE OF THE
LINE WILL MAINTAIN THE RISKS FOR TORNADOES AND DMGG WIND GUSTS INTO
SRN/CNTRL LA THROUGH 12Z.

AREAS AFFECTED...TX

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 161801Z - 161930Z

THE CHANCE OF TSTMS ROOTED ABOVE A STABLE BOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD
INCREASE EWD ACROSS PARTS OF CNTRL AND NCNTRL TX NEXT FEW HOURS.
SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND A
SEVERE TSTM WATCH COULD BE ISSUED ACROSS PARTS OF THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING SEVERE STORM COVERAGE
REMAIN LARGE.

DEEP CONVECTION CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE ACROSS THE
WEST TX ESCARPMENT FROM N OF I10 NWD ACROSS SJT/ABI AREAS...TO SWRN
OK. SO FAR...ONLY ISOLATED ACTIVITY HAS BRIEFLY ACHIEVED SEVERE
LEVELS AND BULK OF THIS CONVECTION APPEARS TO BE STRUGGLING WITHIN
WEAK INSTABILITY REGIME. ENSEMBLE AND LATEST DETERMINISTIC RUC
GUIDANCE APPEAR TO INDICATE THE CONVECTIVE BAND IS ASSOCIATED WITH
LIFT ALONG EWD-ADVANCING 850MB FRONTAL ZONE. THIS ZONE OF FORCING
WILL SHIFT EAST ACROSS CNTRL/NCNTRL TX THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON AND AN
INCREASE IN STORM INTENSITY IS POSSIBLE AS LARGE SCALE ASCENT AND
FRONTAL FORCING BEGIN TO COINCIDE WITH AXIS OF GREATER INSTABILITY
IN THIS REGION. EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR OF 30-40KT WILL LIKELY SUSTAIN
THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SUPERCELLS... WITH UPDRAFTS ROOTED AOA
850MB. THUS...LARGE HAIL SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT AND A WATCH IS
POSSIBLE IF IT APPEARS SEVERE STORM COVERAGE WILL INCREASE IN THIS
AREA.

WARM SECTOR...FROM SOUTH TX NEWD ACROSS THE TX COASTAL PLAIN...
REMAINS CAPPED ATTM. STORM INITIATION IN THIS CORRIDOR WILL LIKELY
AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF STRONGER LARGE SCALE FORCING LATER THIS
AFTERNOON.

VALID 161630Z - 171200Z

..THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER PARTS OF ERN TX INTO WRN
LA...

..THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS MUCH OF TX ACROSS THE
LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY...

..SRN PLAINS ACROSS THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY...
COMPLEX FORECAST CONTINUES TO UNFOLD THIS MORNING AS SEASONABLY
STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW SHIFTS INTO SWRN TX. THIS WILL DRIVE
WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD AS IT
EJECTS ENEWD OVER THE REGION. SHEAR WILL BE QUITE STRONG OVER MUCH
OF THIS AREA AS 90+ KT H5 AND 120 KT H25 JETS SPREAD ACROSS CENTRAL
TX.

ENHANCED ASCENT AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM IS INCREASING DEEP MOIST
CONVECTION ABOVE A SURFACE STABLE LAYER OVER W-CENTRAL/NWRN TX THIS
MORNING. VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND STRONG EFFECTIVE SHEAR MAY
SUPPORT A FEW VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS...DESPITE THE ELEVATED NATURE...WITH
POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL /REFERENCE SWOMCD 240/. THIS ACTIVITY WILL
SPREAD ENEWD THROUGH THE DAY AHEAD OF EWD MOVING SYSTEM...WITH
SEVERE THREAT DIMINISHING NORTH OF THE RED RIVER.

AT 15Z...LEADING EDGE OF COOL STABLE AIR HAS SEEPED WELL EAST OF
I-35 AND SFC COLD FRONT NOW EXTENDS FROM LOW CENTER NEAR COT NNEWD
TO JUST SE OF CLL AND THEN NNWWD TO A WEAKER LOW CENTER SE OF DAL.
SURFACE LOW IS FORECAST TO CONSOLIDATE/DEEPEN INTO NERN TX THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND ALLOW RICH GULF MOISTURE TO SURGE NWD ACROSS THE
TX COASTAL PLAIN TOWARDS THE ARKLATEX BY 00Z. COMBINATION OF
EXTENSIVE STRATUS DECK WITHIN WARM SECTOR AND STRONG CINH FROM
PRONOUNCE ELEVATED-MIXED LAYER WILL BE PROBLEMATIC FOR WARM SECTOR
STORMS TODAY. MLCAPE WILL LIKELY REMAIN AOB 1000 J/KG FROM SERN TX
NWD...WITH MODERATE MLCAPE AND STRONG CAP INTO SRN TX. ROBUST WARM
SECTOR DEVELOPMENT MAY AWAIT DEEP...FORCED ASCENT AROUND 21Z FROM
PARTS OF DEEP SOUTH TX INTO WRN PARTS OF THE TX COASTAL
PLAIN...WHICH WILL INCREASE RAPIDLY NNEWD INTO ERN TX THROUGH 00Z.
PRONOUNCED LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL REMAIN AHEAD OF THIS STRENGTHENING
LINE OF STORMS LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING AND WILL MAINTAIN AN
ENHANCED RISK OF A FEW STRONG TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE UPPER
TX COAST. HOWEVER...OVERALL MODE SHOULD QUICKLY TRANSITION INTO A
FAST MOVING SQUALL LINE DURING THE EVENING WITH WIDESPREAD WIND
DAMAGE POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH OF ERN TX INTO WRN LA BEFORE SYSTEM
INGESTS WEAKER INSTABILITY OVER LA. HOWEVER...SEVERE THREAT
/INCLUDING THE RISK OF ISOLATED TORNADOES/ WILL CONTINUE EWD ACROSS
THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY THROUGH THE NIGHT.

THE CHANCE FOR SEVERE TSTMS WITH LARGE HAIL MAY INCREASE OVER A

THE NEXT FEW HOURS. A SEVERE TSTM WATCH IS POSSIBLE WITHIN NEXT 1-2
HOURS IF MORE VIGOROUS STORMS BEGIN TO DEVELOP.

SCATTERED TSTMS...WITH UPDRAFTS ROOTED ABOVE A SURFACE-BASED STABLE
LAYER...ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN A N-S SWATH FROM THE EDWARDS
PLATEAU TO THE LOW ROLLING PLAINS...AND PERHAPS ACROSS THE RED RIVER
INTO SWRN OK. THIS ACTIVITY MAY STRENGTHEN AS STRONGER FORCING FOR
ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH EWD-ADVANCING SHORT WAVE TROUGH SPREADS
ACROSS LOW LEVEL MOIST PLUME THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. DESPITE STABLE
SURFACE LAYER BELOW 850MB...STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
ACCOMPANYING THE ENHANCED ASCENT SHOULD MAINTAIN AN AXIS OF MUCAPE
IN THE RANGE OF 500-1200 J PER KG GIVEN INFLUX OF HIGHER THETA-E AIR
ON INCREASING LOW LEVEL SLY JET ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER. EFFECTIVE
BULK SHEAR AROUND 40-50KT WILL PROMOTE COHERENT/PERSISTENT CELL
CORES AND PERHAPS A FEW ELEVATED SUPERCELLS WITHIN THE EXPANDING
REGION OF DEEP CONVECTION. IF IT APPEARS THIS TREND IS GETTING
UNDERWAY...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL WILL INCREASE...A SEVERE

REGIONAL RADARS INDICATED A COUPLE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
TRACKING TO THE ESE AT 30-35 KT OVER SERN LA. WSR-88D VWP AND 12Z
LCH SOUNDING SHOWED A 30 KT SLY LLJ IN WRN LA WITH WEAKER LOW LEVEL
WINDS IN SERN LA AS INDICATED BY 12Z SOUNDING AT NEW. THIS WOULD
SUGGEST THAT THE STRONGER STORM CURRENTLY LOCATED TO THE NW OF BTR
IS LIKELY BEING FED BY MORE BUOYANT ELEVATED AIR MASS /MUCAPE AROUND
900 J/KG/ AS DEPICTED BY LCH 12Z SOUNDING. WEAKER INSTABILITY
FARTHER E IN FAR SERN LA/SERN MS SUGGESTS TSTMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO
WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE EWD AWAY FROM GREATER INSTABILITY SOURCE.
EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR VALUES UP TO 50 KT FAVOR ROTATING STORMS WITH
HAIL AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING WIND BEING THE PRIMARY THREATS.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0643 AM CST SAT FEB 16 2008

VALID 161300Z - 171200Z

..THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER PARTS OF ERN/SRN TX AND
WRN/SRN LA...

..THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM CNTRL TX INTO THE LWR MS
VLY...

..SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LOW NOW NEAR ELP WILL CONTINUE E/ENE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF
WEST TX TODAY...BEFORE ACCELERATING NE TOWARD THE MO OZARKS
TONIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY. AT THE SFC...LOOSELY-CONSOLIDATED LOW NOW
FORMING ALONG STALLED FRONT IN S CNTRL TX EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN AND
DEVELOP NNE ALONG THE BOUNDARY THROUGH THE DAY. THE LOW SHOULD
REACH THE PRX AREA BY EVENING AS DIFFUSE MARITIME WARM FRONT...NOW
EXTENDING NW/SE ACROSS SE TX...LIFTS N INTO CNTRL LA. THE LOW
SHOULD CONTINUE NNE INTO CNTRL MO BY 12Z SUNDAY AS INCREASING WLY
FLOW S OF LOW ACCELERATES ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT E/SE INTO WRN
TN/CNTRL MS AND SE LA.

..ERN/SRN TX INTO WRN/SRN LA...
SEASONABLY WARM AND VERY HUMID AIR WILL BE PRESENT TODAY E OF SFC
FRONT NOW STALLING ALONG A NNE/SSW AXIS E OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR OVER
SRN AND ERN TX. THIS RICH BOUNDARY LAYER AIR WILL EXTEND NE TO
VICINITY OF DIFFUSE WARM FRONT NOW NEAR CLL/BPT.

SHORTWAVE RIDGING AND EXISTING EML DOWNSTREAM FROM APPROACHING UPR
LOW LIKELY WILL KEEP MOST OF REGION CAPPED TO DEEP CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. WITH TIME...HOWEVER...
COMBINATION OF SFC HEATING AND INCREASING LARGE SCALE ASCENT
EXPECTED TO SUPPORT TSTM DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND POSSIBLY IMMEDIATELY
AHEAD OF NNE/SSW FRONT AS THAT BOUNDARY BEGINS TO ACCELERATE E AS A
COLD FRONT...AND SBCAPE INCREASES TO AROUND 1500 J/KG.

WITH 500 MB SSW FLOW INCREASING TO AOA 60 KTS AND 50 KT SLY FLOW
PERSISTING JUST ABOVE THE SFC...SETUP WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF BACK-BUILDING BANDS OF SUPERCELLS THAT SHOULD FAIRLY
QUICKLY MERGE INTO AN EXTENSIVE SQLN. EMBEDDED STORMS WITHIN THESE
BANDS COULD YIELD A FEW STRONG TORNADOES...IN ADDITION TO
DESTRUCTIVE OUTFLOW WINDS...GIVEN LONG/HOOKED HODOGRAPHS WITH 0-1 KM
SRH AROUND 350 M2/S2. LARGE HAIL MAY ALSO OCCUR...ESPECIALLY ON SRN
END OF SQLN IN S CNTRL TX...WHERE SBCAPE SHOULD EXCEED 2000 J/KG. A
SIGNIFICANT TORNADO THREAT WOULD ALSO EXIST WITH ANY DISCRETE STORMS
THAT FORM IN AREA OF WEAKENING CIN IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF SQLN.

WITH THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN LIKELY TO CONTINUE AHEAD OF THE
SQLN DURING THE OVERNIGHT ACROSS LA...THE THREAT FOR HIGH WIND AND
ISOLATED STRONG TORNADOES COULD CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY
SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER WRN AND SRN LA.

..W CNTRL/NW TX...
SCTD ELEVATED TSTMS EXPECTED TO PERSIST FROM NW TO S CNTRL TX
THROUGH ABOUT MID AFTN IN AREA OF WAA/ASCENT ON WRN EDGE OF
STRENGTHENING SLY LLJ. SUFFICIENT MUCAPE /AOA 500 J PER KG/ SHOULD
REMAIN PRESENT TO SUPPORT A CONTINUED THREAT FOR ISOLATED
HAIL...UNTIL MORE NEARLY SFC-BASED STORMS INCREASE IN
COVERAGE/STRENGTH FARTHER TO THE E A BIT LATER IN THE DAY.
STRONG...UNIDIRECTIONAL SLY CLOUD-LAYER FLOW SHOULD ORGANIZE THE
STORMS INTO N-S BACK-BUILDING BANDS. THESE STRUCTURES COULD YIELD A
FEW CORRIDORS OF HEAVY RAIN IN AREAS AT OR CLOSE TO FREEZING.

..NE TX INTO SE OK/AR...
STORMS IN NRN SEGMENT OF FRONTAL SQLN...N OF DIFFUSE MARITIME
FRONT...COULD YIELD LARGE HAIL AND STG GUSTS AS THEY MOVE NNE WITHIN
SLIGHTLY ELEVATED PLUME OF FAVORABLE BUOYANCY/MOISTURE OVER SE
OK...SRN/CNTRL AR...NRN LA AND EXTREME NE TX. ALTHOUGH LAPSE RATES
ALOFT MAY BE WEAKER THAN FARTHER SW...RICH MOISTURE SHOULD
SUPPORT MUCAPE UP TO 1000 J/KG...WITH 45-55 KT CLOUD-LAYER SHEAR AS
EJECTING UPR SYSTEM ASSUMES AN INCREASINGLY NEGATIVE TILT.

..LA/WRN MS THIS MORNING...
A FEW SLIGHTLY ELEVATED SUSTAINED STORMS/SUPERCELLS MAY PERSIST
THROUGH THIS MORNING OVER CNTRL/NRN LA AND SW MS...IN WAA ZONE NE OF
MARITIME FRONT. THIS ACTIVITY MAY POSE A THREAT FOR LOCALLY
DAMAGING WIND BUT SHOULD GRADUALLY WEAKEN AND SHIFT NWD AS HEIGHTS
CONTINUE TO RISE DOWNSTREAM FROM APPROACHING UPR LOW. SEE UPCOMING
MCD FOR MORE DETAILS.

PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0450 AM CST SAT FEB 16 2008

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED FROM EASTERN AND SOUTHERN TEXAS
INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS FROM
EASTERN AND SOUTHERN TEXAS INTO WESTERN AND SOUTHERN LOUISIANA THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE

WESTERN AND SOUTHERN LOUISIANA
SOUTHERN AND EASTERN TEXAS

SURROUNDING THE MODERATE RISK AREA...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL TEXAS INTO SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA...SOUTHERN ARKANSAS...EASTERN LOUISIANA AND WESTERN
MISSISSIPPI.

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW NOW APPROACHING WEST TEXAS WILL TRACK EAST
INTO CENTRAL TEXAS BY THIS EVENING BEFORE TURNING NORTHEAST ACROSS
OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN ARKANSAS TONIGHT.

AHEAD OF THE LOW...UNSEASONABLY WARM AND HUMID AIR WILL CONTINUE TO
SPREAD NORTH ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD OF TEXAS AND MUCH OF
LOUISIANA.

A BAND OF JET STREAM WINDS...WITH SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 100 MPH...
WILL MOVE ACROSS EAST TEXAS LATER TODAY AS THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES
EASTWARD.

THE COMBINATION OF STRENGTHENING UPPER LEVEL WINDS...DAYTIME HEATING
AND RICH MOISTURE INFLOW WILL CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF LONG-LIVED ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS KNOWN AS
SUPERCELLS. THESE STORMS LIKELY WILL ORGANIZE INTO AN EXTENSIVE
NORTH-SOUTH LINE THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN AND SOUTHERN
TEXAS LATER TODAY...BEFORE CONTINUING EAST INTO LOUISIANA TONIGHT
AND EARLY SUNDAY. THE STORMS COULD PRODUCE A FEW STRONG
TORNADOES...IN ADDITION TO DESTRUCTIVE OUTFLOW WINDS AND VERY LARGE
HAIL.

THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER
SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER
RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.

VALID 191200Z - 241200Z

..DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT UPPER PATTERN WILL TRANSITION FROM
HIGHLY AMPLIFIED DAY 4 TO ZONAL PROGRESSIVE BY DAY 5. BOTH GFS AND
ECMWF ADVANCE A SHORTWAVE TROUGH INTO THE SRN PLAINS AND LOWER MS
VALLEY BY DAY 6 AND SUBSEQUENTLY EJECT THIS FEATURE INTO THE TN AND
OH VALLEYS LATE DAY 6. THOUGH THE OVERALL PATTERN IS SIMILAR...SOME
DIFFERENCES DO EXIST WITH THE GFS BEING SLOWER WITH THIS FEATURE
THAN THE ECMWF. IN EITHER CASE PARTIALLY MODIFIED GULF AIR WILL
RETURN NWD FROM ERN TX INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND PARTS OF THE
SERN STATES AND CONTRIBUTE TO DESTABILIZATION. VERTICAL WIND
PROFILES WILL INCREASE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS FEATURE WITH AN
ATTENDANT SEVERE THREAT POSSIBLE ANYWHERE FROM ERN TX INTO THE LOWER
MS VALLEY AND A PORTION OF THE SERN U.S..

MODELS INDICATE A STRONGER IMPULSE WILL ADVANCE INTO THE SRN PLAINS
BY DAY 8...AND MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WILL LIKELY BE
SUFFICIENT FOR A SEVERE THREAT OVER PARTS OF THE SRN PLAINS AND MS
VALLEY. PREFER TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER SET OF MODEL RUNS TO GET A BETTER
FEEL FOR RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY BEFORE INTRODUCING AN AREA FOR DAY
8.

ELEVATED TSTMS SHOULD INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE DURING THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS ACROSS PARTS OF SW AND W TX WITH A FEW STORMS BECOMING
STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE HAIL. AREAL COVERAGE OF STRONGER ACTIVITY
IS FAIRLY LIMITED AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...IF COVERAGE/INTENSITY
SHOW SIGNS OF INCREASING...THEN A WW MAY BE NEEDED.

REGIONAL RADARS SHOWED TSTMS HAD DEVELOPED SINCE 0730Z IN THE
VICINITY AND N OF SJT. THIS ACTIVITY IS LOCATED WITHIN INCREASING
WAA REGIME ALONG SSELY 40 KT LLJ AND 150-200 NM N OF A SURFACE
FRONT. THIS BOUNDARY EXTENDED EWD FROM MAVERICK COUNTY /SE OF DRT/
TO 40 SE SAT AND THEN NNEWD INTO NERN TX AND ERN OK. A FURTHER
INCREASE IN THE LLJ AND 60 KT SWLY MID LEVEL WINDS SPREADING ACROSS
THIS REGION IN ADVANCE OF SE AZ/SW NM UPPER LOW/TROUGH BY 12Z WILL
MAINTAIN STRONG EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR VALUES FOR STORM ROTATION.
THIS COMBINED WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF 6.5-7 C/KM SUGGESTS THAT
STRONGER CORES COULD BECOME CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL.

ELEVATED TSTMS ACROSS THE NRN EXTENT OF THE DISCUSSION AREA...
GENERALLY ALONG AND N OF A LINE FROM BORDEN/MITCHELL COUNTIES TO
TAYLOR COUNTY...WILL PRODUCE FREEZING RAIN IN ADDITION TO A HAIL
THREAT SINCE SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THIS REGION ARE AOB 32 F.

..THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER ERN NC...

..THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER NRN THROUGH CNTRL FL...

..SYNOPSIS...

A SERIES OF VORTICITY MAXIMA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH A BROADER
SCALE UPPER TROUGH AS IT ADVANCES THROUGH THE ERN STATES MONDAY. BY
12Z MONDAY...A FRONT WILL EXTEND FROM A DEEP OCCLUDED LOW OVER SERN
CANADA SWD THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC...ERN CAROLINAS INTO NRN FL AND
THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE FRONT WILL MOVE OFF THE NC COAST BY MID
MORNING. THE TRAILING PORTION OF THIS BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE SWD
THROUGH THE FL PENINSULA DURING THE DAY.

..ERN NC...

CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT
FROM ERN NC INTO COASTAL SC. THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE EMBEDDED WITHIN
STRONG LOW LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER WIND PROFILES WITH VERTICAL SHEAR
SUPPORTIVE OF EMBEDDED BOWS AND SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. HOWEVER...THE
MAIN LIMITING FACTOR WILL BE THE MARGINAL THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT.
NEVERTHELESS...A SMALL WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY WILL EXIST FOR ISOLATED
DAMAGING WIND AND PERHAPS A TORNADO OR TWO BEFORE ACTIVITY MOVES
OFFSHORE BY MID MORNING.

..NRN THROUGH CNTRL FL...

SCATTERED STORMS WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING ALONG TRAILING PORTIONS OF
THE COLD FRONT ACROSS NRN FL EARLY MONDAY...THEN SHIFT SWD INTO
CNTRL FL BY MID-DAY. SOME DESTABILIZATION WILL BE POSSIBLE AHEAD OF
THIS ACTIVITY AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER WARMS...AND STORMS WILL BE
EMBEDDED WITHIN STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL VERTICAL SHEAR. PRIMARY THREAT
WILL BE ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND THROUGH EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...THE LOW LEVEL FLOW AND CONVERGENCE ARE EXPECTED TO
GRADUALLY DECREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE LOW LEVEL JET LIFTS
NEWD AWAY FROM THIS REGION.

VALID 171200Z - 181200Z

..THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER PORTIONS OF THE SERN
STATES...

..SYNOPSIS...

UPPER LOW OVER THE SWRN STATES WILL DEAMPLIFY AS IT EJECTS NEWD
THROUGH MS AND OH VALLEYS SUNDAY...REACHING THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. MODELS INDICATE THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH NOW MOVING INTO THE
PACIFIC NW WILL DROP SEWD THROUGH BASE OF UPPER TROUGH AND INTO THE
LOWER MS AND TN VALLEYS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE LOW ATTENDING THE
EJECTING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL LIFT NEWD THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY
AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY SUNDAY EVENING...THEN INTO SERN CANADA
OVERNIGHT. TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP EWD THROUGH THE OH VALLEY
AND SERN STATES...REACHING THE ERN SEABOARD AND NRN FL BY THE END OF
THE PERIOD.


..SERN STATES...

PRIMARY LOW LEVEL JET WILL LIFT NWD THROUGH THE OH VALLEY AND AWAY
FROM MOIST AXIS IN ASSOCIATION WITH EJECTING LEAD SHORTWAVE TROUGH.
HOWEVER...MODELS SUGGEST A SECONDARY LOW LEVEL JET WILL DEVELOP OVER
THE SERN STATES...PARTLY IN RESPONSE TO HEIGHT FALLS ASSOCIATED WITH
SECONDARY VORT LOBE DROPPING INTO BASE OF UPPER TROUGH. THIS FEATURE
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE NWD ADVECTION OF PARTIALLY MODIFIED GULF AIR
WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S LIKELY OVER SRN PORTIONS OF THE GULF
COAST STATES. MOIST AXIS WILL LIKELY BE PINCHED OFF FARTHER NE FROM
NERN GA INTO THE WRN CAROLINAS DUE TO LINGERING WEDGE OF CP AIR. NWD
ADVECTION OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO DESTABILIZATION.
HOWEVER...INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY REMAIN MARGINAL DUE TO MODEST MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD CLOUDS. A LINE OF
SCATTERED STORMS WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING EARLY SUNDAY ALONG OR JUST
AHEAD OF THE FRONT FROM WRN PARTS OF THE TN VALLEY SWD INTO THE MS
VALLEY. POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR STORMS WITHIN THE LINE TO INTENSIFY
OR FOR NEW STORMS TO DEVELOP JUST AHEAD OF THE LINE...ESPECIALLY
OVER THE SRN THROUGH CNTRL GULF COASTAL STATES AS STORMS INTERCEPT
MOIST AXIS. THE VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER WIND PROFILES
WITH LARGE LOW LEVEL HODOGRAPHS WILL SUPPORT POTENTIAL FOR ORGANIZED
STORM STRUCTURES INCLUDING BOW ECHOES AND SUPERCELLS WITH ISOLATED
DAMAGING WIND AND TORNADOES THE MAIN THREATS.

STORMS MAY UNDERGO A TEMPORARY DECREASE AS THEY CROSS INTO THE WRN
CAROLINAS WHERE THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL LIKELY BE MORE STABLE.
HOWEVER...POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR STORMS TO REINTENSIFY LATE OVER
THE ERN CAROLINAS AS THEY INTERCEPT RETURNING MOIST AXIS.

..TN AND OH VALLEY REGIONS...

POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR LOW TOPPED CONVECTION TO DEVELOP DURING THE
AFTERNOON FROM PARTS OF THE TN VALLEY INTO SRN PARTS OF THE OH
VALLEY WITHIN ZONE OF DPVA ASSOCIATED WITH EJECTING VORT MAX. WHILE
SOME POTENTIAL FOR DESTABILIZATION WILL EXIST IN VICINITY OF THERMAL
TROUGH AND DRY SLOT...MOISTURE RETURN AND INSTABILITY ARE EXPECTED
TO REMAIN VERY LIMITED. AT THIS TIME...SEVERE THREAT APPEARS TO LOW
TO WARRANT MORE THAN 5% SEVERE PROBABILITIES.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1143 PM CST FRI FEB 15 2008

VALID 161200Z - 171200Z

..THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS PORTIONS S-CENTRAL
TX...MID/UPPER TX COASTAL PLAIN...TO E-CENTRAL TX...

..THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ELSEWHERE FROM PORTIONS
W-CENTRAL/SW TX TO LOWER TX COAST...ARKLATEX REGION...MUCH OF
LA...AND WRN MS....

OUTBREAK OF SVR TSTMS -- PERHAPS INCLUDING SUPERCELLS WITH
SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES -- APPEARS MOST PROBABLE FROM S-CENTRAL TX
ACROSS COASTAL PLAIN INTO E TX DURING AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
DAMAGING CONVECTIVE WINDS SHOULD BE COMMON WITH THIS SYSTEM...AND
NUMEROUS REPORTS OF LARGE HAIL ALSO MAY OCCUR.

..SYNOPSIS...
MAIN UPPER AIR FEATURE FOR THIS FCST PERIOD WILL BE UPPER LOW -- NOW
EVIDENT IN MOISTURE CHANNEL IMAGERY OVER EXTREME SERN AZ. THIS
CYCLONE IS FCST TO MOVE EWD ACROSS LOWER PECOS VALLEY BEFORE TURNING
NEWD OVER ERN OK LATE IN PERIOD..IN RESPONSE TO APPROACH OF
SHORTWAVE TROUGH NOW DIGGING SEWD ACROSS PACIFIC NW.

AT SFC...COMPLEX PATTERN SHOWS THREE MAIN FEATURES ATTM...
1. ARCTIC FRONTAL ZONE -- ANALYZED INITIALLY FROM ARKLATEX REGION
SWWD ACROSS CLL/SAT AREAS TO FRONTAL-WAVE CYCLONE BETWEEN
COT-DRT...THEN SWWD INTO MOUNTAINS OF CENTRAL COAHUILA. THIS FRONT
IS FCST TO PIVOT CYCLONICALLY EARLY IN PERIOD...MOVING SEWD ACROSS
RIO GRANDE VALLEY WHILE RETREATING SLIGHTLY NWWD OVER CENTRAL/N TX.
THIS WILL OCCUR AS LEESIDE LOW -- INITIALLY OVER NERN
MEX...MOVES/REFORMS NEWD OVER N-CENTRAL TX. BY 17/00-03Z TIME
FRAME...WELL-DEFINED SFC LOW SHOULD BE OVER SERN OK WITH FRONT
MOVING EWD/SEWD OVER E-CENTRAL TX AND COASTAL BEND REGION. BY
17/12Z...EXPECT OCCLUDED/STACKED CYCLONE FROM SFC-500 MB OVER MO
OZARKS...COLD FRONT SWD ACROSS LA AND NWRN GULF.
2. DRYLINE...DIFFICULT TO LOCATE PRECISELY ATTM BUT EVIDENT OVER
PIEDMONT REGION BETWEEN MEX SERRANIAS DEL BURRO RANGE AND RIO
GRANDE. THIS FEATURE MAY MOVE E OF RIO GRANDE THROUGH EARLY-MID
AFTERNOON...OVER PORTIONS DEEP S TX...BEFORE BEING OVERTAKEN BY COLD
FRONT.
3. MARINE WARM FRONT...ANALYZED INITIALLY FROM ABOUT 125 SSW
MSY...JUST S OF GLS...TO FAYETTE COUNTY TX...INTERSECTING ARCTIC
BOUNDARY ABOUT 40 NNE VCT. THIS DENOTES NRN EDGE OF HIGH THETAE
GULF AIR WITH DEW POINTS UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S F. WARM FRONT SHOULD
LIFT NWD ACROSS CENTRAL AND SE TX FASTER THAN OVER SWRN LA. THIS
WILL CAUSE TRIANGULAR WEDGE OF RICHEST WARM SECTOR AIR TO LIFT NWD
ACROSS E TX BEFORE COLD FROPA. WARM SECTOR EXPANSION FARTHER NE
OVER LA AND ARKLATEX REGION PROBABLY WILL BE IMPEDED/PREVENTED BY
CLOUDS AND PRECIP.

..S-CENTRAL TX TO SWRN LA...WARM SECTOR...
GREATEST COVERAGE OF TSTMS IS FCST INVOF COLD FRONT WHERE LINEAR
EVOLUTION SHOULD TAKE PLACE...CHARACTERIZED BY SWWD BACKBUILDING
WITH TIME. EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS/BOWS WILL POSE RISK OF BOTH DAMAGING
WIND AND TORNADOES...ALONG WITH HAIL. TRANSITION OF INFLOW PARCELS
FROM SFC-BASED TO ELEVATED MAY BE GRADUAL AND NEBULOUS ACROSS
DIFFUSE WARM FRONTAL ZONE...SO TORNADO/WIND PROBABILITIES ARE DRAWN
TO ALLOW CONSIDERABLE NWD TOLERANCE FOR WARM SECTOR EXPANSION OVER E
TX.

POTENTIAL FOR RELATIVELY DISCRETE/ROTATING TSTMS WILL BE GREATEST
ALONG SWRN/TAIL END OF CONVECTIVE BAND...WHERE BOUNDARY LAYER INFLOW
IS MOST UNDISTURBED AND AVAILABLE BUOYANCY RELATIVELY MAXIMIZED.
SUCH TSTMS...AS WELL AS ANY RELATIVELY DISCRETE WARM SECTOR
CONVECTION...MAY PRODUCE STRONG TORNADOES. EXPECT INFLOW
ENVIRONMENT OF RICH MOISTURE...LOW LCL...50-60 KT EFFECTIVE
SHEAR...AND VERY LARGE HODOGRAPHS WITH 0-1 KM SRH COMMONLY ABOVE 350
J/KG.

MAIN UNCERTAINTIES ATTM INVOLVE INITIATION AND COVERAGE OF ANY
SUSTAINED CONVECTION S OF FRONT...AND ALONG OR E OF POSSIBLE
DRYLINE. PLUME OF ELEVATED MIXED-LAYER AIR WILL REMAIN OVER MUCH OF
THIS REGION THROUGHOUT DAYLIGHT HOURS...ENHANCING LAPSE RATES AND
CAPE...BUT ALSO SUPPORTING POTENTIAL FOR CAPPING TO SUPPRESS
PREFRONTAL DEVELOPMENT. LATE IN PERIOD...GREATEST SVR POTENTIAL
SHOULD SHRINK SEWD IN AREAL EXTENT ACROSS LA...AND DIMINISH SOMEWHAT
IN MAGNITUDE...DURING OVERNIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER...DEEP-LAYER SHEAR
PROFILES STILL WILL SUPPORT SOME SUPERCELL/BOW POTENTIAL OVER WARM
SECTOR.

..W-CENTRAL/NW TX...NW OF ARCTIC FRONT...
SCATTERED TSTMS WITH POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED HAIL SHOULD BE ONGOING
AT BEGINNING OF PERIOD ACROSS PORTIONS W-CENTRAL/NW TX. FARTHER
W...LEADING EDGE OF STRONGEST MID/UPPER LEVEL ASCENT SHOULD MOVE
INTO W-CENTRAL TX AROUND BEGINNING OF PERIOD...BECOMING INCREASINGLY
JUXTAPOSED WITH WRN PORTIONS OF ELEVATED WAA AND MOIST ADVECTION
REGIME IN LOW LEVELS. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL TSTMS IN
GENERALLY N-S ALIGNED BAND...SHIFTING EWD ACROSS THIS REGION.
FAVORABLE LAPSE RATES AND LOW LEVEL THETAE WILL EXIST TO SUPPORT
SOME MUCAPE VALUES 500-1000 J/KG...AMIDST FAVORABLE EFFECTIVE SHEAR
FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION. ALTHOUGH LINEAR MODE SHOULD
PREDOMINATE...HAIL MAY OCCUR FROM SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY.

..ARKLATEX REGION...
NRN SEGMENT OF FRONTAL CONVECTIVE BAND -- N OF MARINE BOUNDARY --
MAY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND STG GUSTS AS IT MOVES INTO SLIGHTLY
ELEVATED PLUME OF FAVORABLE BUOYANCY OVER SERN OK...SRN
AR...PORTIONS NRN/NERN LA AND EXTREME NE TX. ALTHOUGH LAPSE RATES
ALOFT MAY BE WEAKER THAN FARTHER W...RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD
CONTRIBUTE TO MUCAPES UP TO 1000 J/KG...WITH 45-55 KT EFFECTIVE
SHEAR.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0235
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1143 PM CST FRI FEB 15 2008

AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHWEST TX AND TX SOUTH PLAINS/TX PANHANDLE INTO
WESTERN OK

CONCERNING...WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION

VALID 160543Z - 161045Z

A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET...ALONG WITH OCCASIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS...IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE/EXPAND NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT
ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF NORTHWEST TX AND THE TX SOUTH PLAINS/TX
PANHANDLE INTO WESTERN OK. SLEET/ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY
THROUGH EARLY MORNING.

INFRARED SATELLITE/VOLUMETRIC RADAR IMAGERY FEATURES INCREASING
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE TX SOUTH PLAINS/CAPROCK VICINITY AND
ADJACENT NORTH CENTRAL TX OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS. WELL NORTH OF A
QUASI-STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY...A SHALLOW SUB-FREEZING AIRMASS
ENCOMPASSES THE REGION PER SURFACE OBSERVATIONAL NETWORK AND 00Z
OBSERVED RAOBS FROM AMARILLO/MIDLAND TX AND NORMAN OK. AS OF
05Z...THE SURFACE WET BULB 32F LINE WAS RUNNING ROUGHLY WEST-EAST
PARALLEL TO I-20 IN WEST TX...AND THEN NORTH-SOUTH ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL TX INTO FAR SOUTH CENTRAL OK. IN ACCORDANCE WITH
OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS...SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS LOW LEVEL
WARM ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC LIFT REGIME SHOULD LEAD TO A NORTHWARD
EXPANSION/INCREASING PRECIPITATION RATES OVERNIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF
NORTHWEST TX/WESTERN OK...WITH A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN/SLEET AND
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS COMMON.

SIMILAR TO THE VERTICAL WET BULB PROFILES FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED
REGIONAL 00Z OBSERVED RAOBS...NAM/RUC FORECAST SOUNDINGS LARGELY
FAVOR FREEZING RAIN UPON SATURATION ACROSS MUCH OF THIS
REGION...OWING TO A FULL MELTING LAYER /850-900 MB AND ABOVE/ ATOP
THE SHALLOW SUB-FREEZING AIRMASS THAT RESIDES ACROSS MUCH OF
NORTHWEST TX/WESTERN OK. HOWEVER...WHILE THERMAL PROFILES WOULD TEND
TO FAVOR FREEZING RAIN...MODEST ELEVATED CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY WITH
200-500 J/KG MUCAPE WILL LIKELY RESULT IN ICE PELLETS/SLEET AND EVEN
SMALL HAIL WITH THE MORE SUSTAINED CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS/THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH DAYBREAK.
