MD 0389 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 91… FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0389
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0902 PM CDT Mon Apr 08 2024
Areas affected…portions of northwest Texas
Concerning…Severe Thunderstorm Watch 91…
Valid 090202Z – 090330Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 91
continues.
SUMMARY…A bowing line of storms will pose an increased severe
wind/hail threat for the next 2 hours.
DISCUSSION…A cluster of supercells has evolved into a bowing line
of storms in Stonewall/Haskell/Jones counties. This bowing segment
should persist east as it moves into better low-level moisture and
nearly 70 knots of effective shear (per DYX VWP). The latest WoFs
seems to have a decent handle on the evolution of the cluster
through 02Z. However, there is considerable spread in the storm mode
from here forward with around half of the members showing one or
more supercells emerging out of this bow with other members showing
upscale growth into a larger linear segment. Regardless of the exact
storm mode and evolution, consensus does show the threat persisting
east of watch 91 and a downstream watch will likely be needed.
