MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1995
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0808 PM CDT WED SEP 26 2012
AREAS AFFECTED...CENTRAL AND EAST-CENTRAL OK
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 651...
VALID 270108Z - 270245Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 651
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...ISOLATED TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO POSE A THREAT FOR STRONG
WINDS AND/OR HAIL ACROSS THE VALID PORTION OF WW 651. WHILE THE
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR TSTMS TO PERSIST THROUGH THE EVENING...THE
OVERALL SVR WEATHER THREAT IS NOT EXPECTED TO INCREASE SUCH THAT A
NEW WW IS NOT WARRANTED BEYOND THE 03Z EXPIRATION.
DISCUSSION...SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND TRENDS IN SATELLITE/RADAR
IMAGERY INDICATED AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ATTENDANT TO THE ONGOING
CLUSTER OF TSTMS IN EAST CENTRAL OK HAS CONTINUED TO SPREAD
WWD...AND AT 01Z THIS FEATURE EXTENDED SWD FROM NRN LOGAN COUNTY /30
SE END/ TO 15 SE OKC TO 35 NNW ADM TO 35 NNE DUA. WEAK SSWLY LOW
LEVEL WINDS PER 00Z OUN SOUNDING AND 00Z PURCELL WIND PROFILER
SUGGEST WEAK WAA E OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SHOULD SUPPORT ADDITIONAL
TSTM DEVELOPMENT. TRENDS IN OBJECTIVE ANALYSES INDICATED GRADUAL
WEAKENING OF CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS
GIVEN TIME OF DAY...THOUGH RESIDUAL INSTABILITY DURING THE NEXT 1-3
HOURS COMBINED WITH EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR OF 30-35 KT SUGGEST A FEW
STRONG TO SVR STORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE.
