MD 1167 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 381… FOR OK/TX PANHANDLES INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL OK
Mesoscale Discussion 1167
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1141 PM CDT Fri Jun 06 2025
Areas affected...OK/TX Panhandles into western/central OK
Concerning...Tornado Watch 381...
Valid 070441Z - 070615Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 381 continues.
SUMMARY...Supercells with a hail and tornado threat may continue
into the overnight, with an increase in severe-wind potential
possible with time.
DISCUSSION...Intense supercells continue to move southeastward
across the OK/TX Panhandles, with one long-lived cell currently
moving into west-central OK. Other strong to locally severe storms
are approaching central OK. Nocturnal cooling and increasingly
prominent outflow are increasing MLCINH across the region, but
favorable low-level and deep-layer shear will continue to support
supercells with potential for tornadoes and large to very large hail
into the early overnight hours.
The influence of outflow moving northward across western/central OK
remains somewhat uncertain overnight, but in general, a
strengthening low-level jet may support some clustering and upscale
growth of convection overnight, generally near/north of a surface
boundary draped from the northern TX Panhandle into northern OK.
Should this occur, the severe-wind threat may increase with time,
along with a continued threat of some hail and localized tornado
potential with any persistent supercell structures.
