FOR ARKLATEX Mesoscale Discussion 0047 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1144 PM CST Thu Jan 11 2024 Areas affected...Arklatex Concerning...Tornado Watch 9... Valid 120544Z - 120745Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 9 continues. SUMMARY...Severe threat will increase across the western half of ww009 over the next few hours. DISCUSSION...Water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined midlevel vort advancing east across the TX South Plains. Leading edge of large-scale support is spreading across north-central TX in association with left exit region of midlevel jet. Over the last hour or so, IR imagery suggests convection has gradually been deepening along the front, from east of SEP-DFW-southeast of Sherman TX. Lightning is now observed with this activity over Collin County and further strengthening is expected along the wind shift over the next few hours. Latest thinking is substantial increase in convection should be noted along the advancing front across the western portions of ww009 by 07z. While the frontal convection may become more linear with time, very strong shear supports the potential for supercells. Damaging winds are expected with this convection along with some risk for tornadoes. ..Darrow.. 01/12/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
