Severe weather possible one more time at midweek across the Southern Plains up into Missouri.

12z Sounding near Dallas/Fort Worth for Wednesday evening.

 

It would seems like things are suggesting that large damaging hail could be an issue once again.

I can definitely see some large hail. The tornado threat will likely be very small due to a nasty veer-back that the models agree on between 850 and 700mb. I don't see any point in chasing eastern OK and west AR tomorrow. Too bad of a road network for not good enough storms.

ESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0252  
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0107 PM CDT WED MAR 23 2016  
 
AREAS AFFECTED...SERN NEB / SWRN IA / NWRN MO / EXTREME NERN KS  
 
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY  

 
VALID 231807Z - 232030Z  

 
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...80 PERCENT  
 
SUMMARY...A TORNADO WATCH WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AND ISSUED DURING  
THE 20-21Z PERIOD. THE RISK FOR A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE CONFINED TO  
A WEDGE-SHAPED AREA IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF THE SURFACE LOW TO THE E OF  
AN ARCING DRYLINE AND BOUNDED TO THE N BY A STATIONARY FRONT.  
 
DISCUSSION...VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A BUILDING CU FIELD  
FROM SERN NEB SEWD TO THE GREATER KANSAS CITY AREA. 17Z SUBJECTIVE  
SURFACE MESOANALYSIS PLACES A LOW OVER S-CNTRL NEB/N-CNTRL KS WITH  
AN ARCING DRYLINE EXTENDING E AND SEWD INTO ERN KS WITH A STATIONARY  
FRONT EXTENDING E OF THE SURFACE LOW. COLD AIR N OF THE STATIONARY  
FRONT WILL LIKELY REMAIN ENTRENCHED AND LITTLE MOVEMENT IS EXPECTED  
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS WITH THIS BOUNDARY. A WARM/MOIST SECTOR  
FEATURES THE MOIST AXIS WITH LOW TO MID 50S SURFACE DEWPOINTS  
IMMEDIATELY E OF THE ARCING DRYLINE AND TEMPS ARE FORECAST TO RISE  
INTO THE 70S CONTRIBUTING TO ADDITIONAL DESTABILIZATION.  
 
AS THE EXIT REGION OF AN INTENSE 100 KT H5 JET STREAK OVER OK/KS  
NOSES TOWARDS THE REGION LATER THIS AFTERNOON...LARGE-SCALE FORCING  
FOR ASCENT WILL INCREASE CONSIDERABLY COINCIDENT WITH A WEAKENING IN  
THE CAPPING INVERSION. ISOLD STORM DEVELOPMENT IS FORECAST AROUND  
21Z. STRONG EFFECTIVE SHEAR /40-50 KT/ WILL SUPPORT STORM  
ORGANIZATION AND A COUPLE OF STORMS WILL PROBABLY MATURE INTO  
SUPERCELLS. BACKED LOW-LEVEL WINDS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY WITH THE NERN  
EXTENSION OF VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES /8 DEG C OR HIGHER/ WILL FOSTER  
STRONG LOW-LEVEL VERTICAL ACCELERATIONS OF PARCELS WITH ANY  
SUPERCELL RESIDING IN THE RELATIVELY MOIST LOW-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT.  
AS A RESULT...THE RISK FOR MESOCYCLONES CAPABLE OF A FEW TORNADOES  
WILL PROBABLY MAXIMIZE DURING THE 22-00Z PERIOD. LARGE HAIL AND  
DMGG WIND GUSTS MAY ALSO ACCOMPANY ANY OF THE STRONGER STORMS.

Yesterday's brush fire was more impressive than the severe storms. The fire on the ks/ok border apparently burned 110 square miles! The smoke on vis trailed ne to Nebraska. Two of my friends were chasing near the triple point and caught a beautiful orangey sunset. The sky had a very smokey appearance. We managed to get some convection and quarter sized hail with the cells that popped up from Ardmore to the northeast.
