jojo762 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 SPC on supercells in Texas... Mesoscale Discussion 0736 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0456 PM CDT Tue May 16 2017 Areas affected...east-central TX Panhandle Concerning...Tornado Watch 220... Valid 162156Z - 162300Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 220 continues. SUMMARY...The risk for very large to giant hail (2-3.5 inches in diameter) and tornadoes will increase nonlinearly (22-00Z). A large/intense (EF3+ capable) tornado is possible (23-02Z) given the strengthening low-level shear, very large buoyancy, and the mature phase of a quasi-discrete supercell. DISCUSSION...Radar imagery shows a north-south cluster of supercells over the eastern TX Panhandle which have moved east of the dryline. OK and West TX mesonet observations show dewpoints in the 66-69 degrees F range and temperatures in the middle 70s to around 80. Very strong backing of low-level flow, perhaps partially induced by parent storms to the west, has enlarged the low-level hodograph size during the past 30 minutes from Childress County to Wheeler County with 2-4 mb/hour falls in the past 2 hours. RAP forecast soundings show 0-1 km SRH increasing from 150 m2/s2 to 350 m2/s2 (locally higher and augmented by storms) during the 22-00Z period. As the low-level shear continues to increase over the next couple of hours, expect with medium to higher confidence of a large/intense tornado ---potentially capable of EF3+ intensity--- evolving from supercell cluster in Wheeler/Gray/Collingsworth counties. ..Smith/Guyer.. 05/16/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Backed se flow in sw OK and northern TX. Need to watch as storms develop southward between Childress and Guthrie as higher helicity values are becoming evident in this area due to forcing coming in from the west.

jojo762 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 OUN issuing a significant weather advisory in front of the current tornadic supercells. ...SIGNIFICANT WEATHER ADVISORY FOR northwestern Harmon... southwestern Roger Mills...western Beckham and northwestern Greer Counties Until 545 PM CDT... Storms capable of producing tornadoes were located in the Texas panhandle. One storm was located southwest of Wheeler and the other located northwest of Wellington at 515 pm. The storms were moving northeast at 35 MPH. These storms will move into western Oklahoma before 6 PM. Severe weather is likely with these storms as they move into Oklahoma and there is a high probability that tornado warnings will be issued. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Monitor the situation closely. Be ready to act quickly if a warning is issued or if storms threaten you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
