ZCZC SPCSWOMCD ALL ACUS11 KWNS 310521 SPC MCD 310521 TXZ000-310615- Mesoscale Discussion 1089 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1221 AM CDT Fri May 31 2024 Areas affected...Big Country to central TX Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely Valid 310521Z - 310615Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...A severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed as an MCS over the Big Country and Concho Valley continues for the next several hours into central Texas. DISCUSSION...An intensifying MCS over the TX Big Country has already produced hail reported up to 2.5 inches and a measured wind gust of 55 mph at the Fort Chadbourne West Texas Mesonet site. This MCS will likely propagate along the outflow from a leading MCS over central TX. A pronounced MLCAPE gradient with large buoyancy centered over parts of the Edwards Plateau into south-central TX will aid in maintaining potential for embedded hail with an increasing risk for severe wind gusts through the pre-dawn hours. ..Grams/Thompson.. 05/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
