Mesoscale Discussion 0156
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0743 PM CST Fri Mar 06 2026

Areas affected...Northeast Oklahoma to West-Central Missouri

Concerning...Tornado Watch 15...18...

Valid 070143Z - 070315Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 15, 18 continues.

SUMMARY...Supercell threat, with isolated tornadoes, continues this
evening.

DISCUSSION...Complex mode of convection has evolved from northeast
OK into west-central MO. Strong low-level warm advection is noted
along this corridor, coincident with the LLJ. VWP data from
INX/SGF/EAX all exhibit 0-3 SRH values in excess of 400 m2/s2, and
ample buoyancy was noted on the 00z soundings from SGF/TOP/OUN. OUN
was particularly noteworthy with 2100 J/kg MLCAPE and negligible
inhibition. Latest radar data depicts at least two long-lived
supercells over northeast OK, embedded within a broader mixed-mode
elongated convective band. This activity will continue to
spread/develop northeast, along with an attendant risk for tornadoes
and perhaps some large hail.
