Mesoscale Discussion 0579
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0514 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2024
Areas affected…portions of west Texas
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch possible
Valid 302214Z – 010015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…40 percent
SUMMARY…Local risk of very large hail will continue into the
evening.
DISCUSSION…Storms located along the dryline over west Texas have a
history of producing very large hail, up to 2.5 inches in diameter
during the past hour. Sounding analysis indicates favorable long
hodographs, ample instability, and with deep layer flow that would
support continued risk of very large hail. There is some uncertainty
in the overall coverage of storms and thus the coverage of the
severe threat.
