MD 2344 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHWEST TEXAS

Mesoscale Discussion 2344
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1123 PM CDT Wed Sep 30 2026

Areas affected...central Oklahoma into northwest Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 010423Z - 010630Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A line of storms may produce strong gusts of 40-50 mph as
it moves into central Oklahoma. Isolated damaging gusts cannot be
ruled out.

DISCUSSION...A line of storms continues to move across southwest OK,
with wind gusts over 40 mph reported and strong pressure rises noted
on the mesonet. A slower moving portion of this system extends from
Blaine into Washita Counties, with higher echo tops noted.

VWPs indicate south/southwest boundary layer flow continues across
the region, with up to 40 kt near 1 km AGL. This should maintain
northward moisture flux ahead of the approaching line of storms and
wind shift, and some uptick in intensity is possible. A larger
leading cluster over south-central OK may modify the environment
somewhat, but appears to be far enough removed from the western
activity to not weaken it much.
