"textContent": "MD 0592 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 168... FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND NORTHERN LOUISIANA\n\n\n\n\n Mesoscale Discussion 0592\n NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK\n 0933 AM CDT Tue Apr 28 2026\n\n Areas affected...south-central Oklahoma and north-central Texas into\n central and southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana\n\n Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 168...\n\n Valid 281433Z - 281630Z\n\n The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 168\n continues.\n\n SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to increase in areal coverage\n across the discussion area this morning with all severe-weather\n hazards becoming possible. Convective trends are being monitored for\n an additional downstream watch.\n\n DISCUSSION...As of 14:20z, mosaic radar data showed thunderstorms\n gradually increasing in coverage across south-central OK and\n north-central TX with the strongest storm being a supercell over\n Montague County, TX. That storm is located very near or just to the\n south of a warm front that extends from low pressure over western\n north Texas east-northeast into central AR. The south of that\n boundary, visible satellite shows deepening moist convection near\n and to the southeast of the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex. The 12z FWD\n sounding sampled a very moist boundary layer surmounted by steep\n mid-level lapse rates, yielding MLCAPE of 3500 J/kg. The cap was not\n overly strong, and latest model guidance suggests a gradual increase\n in thunderstorm activity this morning from the vicinity of the\n ongoing storms over south-central OK and north-central TX eastward\n toward the ArkLaTex.\n\n Regional 12z soundings sampled the presence of strong,\n mid/upper-level winds, which will combine with the moderate to\n strong instability to support higher-order storm modes, including\n supercells and bowing structures capable of large to very large hail\n and damaging winds as the primary hazards. The greatest potential\n for a few tornadoes will exist with storms that can favorably\n interact with the warm front in the area.\n\n ..Mead/Guyer.. 04/28/2026\n\n ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...\n\n ATTN...WFO...JAN...LZK...SHV...TSA...FWD...OUN...\n\n LAT...LON 33969822 35109776 34979227 34469194 33739182 32829211\n 32849425 33029630 33259750 33489807 33969822\n\n MOST PROBABLE PEAK TORNADO INTENSITY...100-125 MPH\n MOST PROBABLE PEAK WIND GUST...65-80 MPH\n MOST PROBABLE PEAK HAIL SIZE...2.00-3.50 IN\n\n\n\nRead more",
