MD 2109 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR EASTERN OKLAHOMA…WESTERN ARKANSAS…AND FAR NORTHEAST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 2109
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0303 PM CDT Sun Sep 21 2025
Areas affected...Eastern Oklahoma...western Arkansas...and far
northeast Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 212003Z - 212200Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A couple strong storms may pose a risk of locally damaging
gusts and possibly marginal hail through the afternoon.
DISCUSSION...The latest water-vapor imagery shows a convectively
augmented midlevel trough moving slowly eastward across central OK,
while an accompanying MCV and related outflow boundary continue
eastward across eastern OK. Despite substantial cloud coverage ahead
of the trough, the boundary layer has warmed into the 80s amid upper
60s/lower 70s dewpoints (contributing to moderate surface-based
buoyancy) in the vicinity of the outflow boundary. While the SRX/INX
VWPs are only showing around 20 kt of 0-6 km shear, this should
continue strengthening to around 30 kt as stronger midlevel flow
accompanying the trough (sampled by TLX VWP) overspreads the area.
This may support a couple loosely organized clusters capable of
producing locally damaging gusts and possibly marginal hail through
the afternoon.
