    Mesoscale Discussion 0818
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0206 AM CDT Fri Jun 22 2018

    Areas affected...Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles...extreme northeast
    New Mexico...southeast Colorado...and southwest Kansas...and far
    western Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 220706Z - 220830Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Ongoing thunderstorms are increasing in coverage across
    the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles. An isolated large hail or gusty
    thunderstorm wind will be possible through the night. Trends will be
    monitored for a possible Severe Thunderstorm Watch.

    DISCUSSION...Initial thunderstorms developed during the evening
    hours across southeast Colorado, northeast New Mexico, and the
    northwest Texas Panhandle in response to modest warm-air advection
    atop a stationary front across the area. These thunderstorms
    organized into 2 or 3 primary thunderstorm cores, with the strongest
    moving southeast across Dallam County, TX, and Cimarron County, OK.
    Large hail is likely with this thunderstorm.

    Additional thunderstorms are developing to the northeast of this
    initial band of convection, with the strongest across Hansford
    County, TX, as the persistent warm-air advection allows
    surface-based parcels to isentropically ascend to their level of
    free convection. Given the larger-scale environment across the area
    -- 1000-1500 J/kg of most-unstable CAPE and 40-60 knots of effective
    deep-layer shear -- updraft organization is possible for any
    persistent updraft. Given the elevated nature of the thunderstorms,
    large hail should be the primary threat, although brief, gusty
    thunderstorm outflow cannot be ruled out. These thunderstorms are
    expected to continue to develop/persist through the morning hours as
    they move east, before weakening after sunrise as the low-level jet
    veers and the warm-air advection/isentropic ascent weakens.

    Trends will continue to be monitored for possible Severe
    Thunderstorm issuance.
