MD 2011 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH POSSIBLE FOR EASTERN TX PANHANDLE AND FAR WESTERN OK
Mesoscale Discussion 2011
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0646 PM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025
Areas affected...Eastern TX Panhandle and far western OK
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 242346Z - 250115Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and locally severe gusts are possible
for the next couple hours. A watch is not currently expected, though
trends are being monitored.
DISCUSSION...A couple of discrete storms have recently intensified
along a north/south-oriented surface boundary extending across the
far eastern TX Panhandle, while a separate storm cluster has been
evolving along an antecedent outflow boundary in northwest OK. Ahead
of these storms, a warm/moist PBL (lower 60s dewpoints) and modest
midlevel lapse rates are yielding weak surface-based buoyancy.
However, around 40 kt of effective shear should continue to favor
supercell structure, with a risk of isolated large to very large
hail and locally severe gusts. The severe risk should persist for
another couple hours, prior to increasing nocturnal static
stability. Given the potentially limited spatiotemporal nature of
the threat, it is unclear if a watch is needed, though trends are
being monitored.
