MD 2024 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO FAR WESTERN OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 2024
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0442 PM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025
Areas affected...portions of the Texas Panhandle into far western
Oklahoma
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 302142Z - 302345Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...A marginal risk for strong to severe wind will be possible
this evening.
DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm development is noted near Lubbock,TX in
the region of the surface trough. Cumulus extends across the Texas
Panhandle within plume of moisture characterized by low to mid 60s
dew points. Modest northwesterly flow extends along the northern
portion of the Texas Panhandle into the Oklahoma Panhandle. Thus
far, where thunderstorms have developed, shear profiles remain weak
with little in the way of organization. Should development occur
further north near the belt of enhanced northwesterly flow, as
indicated in some CAM guidance, stronger storms may be possible with
potential for strong to severe winds. Confidence is low overall in
organized development occurring and thus a watch is unlikely.
