Mesoscale Discussion 1296 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0126 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 Areas affected...parts of north central/central OK Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 417... Valid 150626Z - 150830Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 417 continues. SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development is likely to continue through the remainder of the night, with potential to organize and begin to produce strong to severe wind gusts, particularly to the north of the Greater Oklahoma City area during the next couple of hours. DISCUSSION...Convection likely remains rooted within forcing for ascent associated with lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection, near the nose of a modest southwesterly nocturnal low-level jet. This is occurring above a boundary-layer air mass substantially impacted by prior convection, with little substantive surface cold pool strengthening evident with ongoing activity. Strongest continuing thunderstorm development through the next several hours appears likely to become increasingly focused along the western flank of the composite outflow, roughly east of Alva into areas north of Oklahoma City OK, where elevated (southwesterly) updraft inflow will remain most unstable. This may remain characterized by CAPE in excess of 2000 J/kg. Although this is embedded within westerly deep-layer mean flow on the order of 10 kt, veering profiles from southwesterly to northwesterly in lower/mid-levels may continue to support evolving supercell structures. It still appears possible that convection currently intensifying between Enid and Chandler could undergo substantive further upscale growth, and perhaps become accompanied by a more prominent southward propagating surface cold pool with increasing potential to produce strong to severe wind gusts by 08-10Z. ..Kerr.. 06/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
