Mesoscale Discussion 1419
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1017 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024
Areas affected…central Oklahoma
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch unlikely
Valid 260317Z – 260415Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…5 percent
SUMMARY…Severe risk to increase across the Oklahoma City metro
area in the next hour as a cluster of storms moves southward.
Isolated/local nature of the risk should preclude any need for WW
issuance.
DISCUSSION…A cluster of strong/severe storms continues moving
southward across central Oklahoma, through a moist/very unstable
airmass — aided by a gradually increasing south-southwesterly
low-level jet. The storms continue to exhibit radar signatures
consistent with strong winds and large hail, including 65 kt
inbounds at 1500 feet, and hail near golf ball size. While the hail
core seems to be diminishing gradually over the past 15 minutes,
severe/damaging gusts are expected across portions of the metro
area.
