    Mesoscale Discussion 1061

    Areas affected...Parts of central Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 011750Z - 012015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...A gradual increase in thunderstorm development is expected
    over the next few hours. The primary concerns will be large hail and
    severe wind gusts. A watch should eventually be needed this
    afternoon, though timing is uncertain.

    DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis shows a convectively augmented quasi-stationary boundary extending southeastward across parts of
    north-central TX. Continued diurnal heating amid fully modified Gulf
    moisture (lower 70s dewpoints) will continue to erode antecedent
    inhibition sampled by the earlier 12Z FWD sounding. This, along with
    cooling temperatures aloft accompanying a glancing midlevel wave,
    will yield strong surface-based instability along/south of the
    boundary. Generally weak large-scale ascent and some lingering
    inhibition cast uncertainty on timing of thunderstorm development
    (outside of an isolated/ongoing storm along the boundary). However,
    current thinking is that a gradual increase in development will
    occur along the boundary and possibly southward along the eastern
    edge of the steeper low-level lapse rates during the next several
    hours.=20

    An initially cellular mode amid long/generally straight hodographs
    (around 40 kt of effective shear) and the strong buoyancy should
    favor large hail with maturing supercell structures. With time,
    there may be a tendency for localized upscale growth into clusters,
    with a corresponding increase in severe-gust potential. While
    uncertain on timing, a watch will likely be needed for parts of the
    area this afternoon.
