MD 1476 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR FAR SOUTHERN KANSAS...OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE...NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE...NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA

Mesoscale Discussion 1476
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0519 PM CDT Fri Jul 03 2026

Areas affected...Far Southern Kansas...Oklahoma Panhandle...Northern
Texas Panhandle...Northwest Oklahoma

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 032219Z - 040015Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Severe wind gusts and hail will be possible with the
stronger cells in a cluster over the Oklahoma Panhandle and far
southern Kansas early this evening. The threat is expected to be too
isolated for weather watch issuance.

DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis shows a 1007 mb low over the
western Oklahoma Panhandle, with an axis of low-level convergence
located to the east of the low from the northern Texas Panhandle
into far southwest Kansas. Along this axis, the RAP has MLCAPE in
the 3000 to 4000 J/kg range, which will fuel the convection for a
few more hours. The surface temperature dewpoint spread at Liberal,
Kansas is 50 degrees F suggesting that the storms are very high
based. In spite of this, the steep low-level lapse rates could be
enough for isolated severe wind gusts. The cluster of storms may
move slowly eastward over the next hour or two, and could eventually
affect parts of northwest Oklahoma later this evening.
