MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0958

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0153 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2011

AREAS AFFECTED...SRN AR...NERN TX...NWRN LA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY

VALID 251853Z - 252100Z

AT LEAST ISOLATED SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT APPEARS PROBABLE DURING THE

MID-LATE AFTERNOON WITH ALL TYPES OF ATTENDANT SEVERE WEATHER

POSSIBLE. THE PROBABILITY OF A TORNADO WATCH ISSUANCE BY 21Z IS 80

PERCENT.

18Z SUBJECTIVE SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACED A COLD FRONT/EFFECTIVE

DRYLINE ROUGHLY FROM DEQ TO CRS TO DRT. TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED

INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S ALONG THIS WIND SHIFT ACROSS THE HILL

COUNTRY/CNTRL TX...WITH INCREASING TCU NOTED NEAR CRS. BOTH

OPERATIONAL AND CONVECTION-ALLOWING MODEL GUIDANCE DIFFER ON WHETHER

TSTM INITIATION OCCURS ALONG THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON.

HOWEVER...GLANCING MID-LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORT

WAVE TROUGH OVER ERN KS/WRN MO IN COMBINATION WITH MODEST LOW-LEVEL

CONVERGENCE OVERLAPPING THE THERMAL/MOIST AXES SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT

FOR ISOLATED TSTM DEVELOPMENT BY LATE AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE VERY

UNSTABLE AIR MASS IN PLACE WITH MLCAPE OF 3000 TO 4000 J/KG AND

EFFECTIVE SHEAR AROUND 50 KT /PER MODIFIED 18Z SHV RAOB/...SUPERCELL

EVOLUTION IS QUITE LIKELY WITH ATTENDANT THREATS FOR LARGE HAIL

/SOME SIGNIFICANT/ AND ISOLATED SEVERE WIND GUSTS. DESPITE W/SWLY

LOW-LEVEL FLOW...THE STRENGTH OF THE KINEMATIC PROFILE WILL MAINTAIN

LARGE HODOGRAPHS FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS AR/LA.

..GRAMS.. 05/25/2011

I have my four wheeler helmets out ;) and the safe room open! Unbelievable in our region - many schools closings, shelters opening, businesses are closing early, parents pulling kids from school - honestly never seen anything to this degree in my region. Outside of snowstorms, of course.

It's good to hear. Smart people in your town.

VALID 251932Z - 252030Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 369...370...CONTINUES. DISCRETE SUPERCELLS HAVE BEGUN TO INTERACT WITH THE RETREATING SURFACE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDING ACROSS EAST CENTRAL MO AND WEST CENTRAL IL. STRONG HEATING HAS OCCURRED TO THE NORTH OF BOUNDARY...WHERE DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S ARE YIELDING MLCAPE VALUES OVER 2000 J/KG. BACKED LOW LEVEL WINDS AND LOCALLY ENHANCED VORTICITY ALONG REMNANT BOUNDARY ARE LIKELY AIDING SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS ALSO HINTS AT A WEAK SURFACE MESOLOW NEAR COU...CONTRIBUTING TO ENHANCED LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND PRESSURE FALLS ALONG THE BOUNDARY. STORMS NOW OVER AUDRAIN/MONTGOMERY/LINCOLN COUNTIES MO ARE SHOWING SIGNIFICANT ROTATION WITH AN ENHANCED RISK OF TORNADOES. THE THREAT OF TORNADOES AND VERY LARGE HAIL WILL PERSIST IN THIS ZONE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS DISCRETE STORMS FORM TO THE SOUTH AND TRACK ACROSS THE RETREATING BOUNDARY...INCLUDING PORTIONS OF THE STL METRO AREA. ..HART.. 05/25/2011

After April 14, 15, 16, 19, 27... and then Sunday and yesterday.... everybody is very storm anxious, even if they haven't had their first tornado warning of the season. I know you'll agree... you guys probably wouldn't see that kind of reaction there, even in a High Risk... to this degree, had all these other days not happened.
