DISCUSSION...Surface analysis indicates a dryline/pacific front is moving east across north TX with a cold front pushing southeastward through the Red River Valley near I-35 along the TX-OK border. A very moist/unstable airmass resides across north TX northeastward into far southeast OK and southwest AR with a reservoir of near 70 deg F dewpoints and MLCAPE 2500-3500 J/kg. Although a residual capping inversion will likely limit storm coverage this morning, its erosion near the boundary over north TX will probably support at least widely scattered storm development early this morning. The wind profile will favor updraft organization and the risk for large hail to very large hail (diameters 1 to 2.5 inches). Severe gusts may accompany any stronger cores that manage to develop during the morning. Less certain is the potential for a tornado or two given the capping inversion and for storms to not quite fully ingest near surface-based parcels. Convective trends will be monitored for a possible watch. ...Smith/Edwards.. 04/05/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4jPer-9sYHExejUNHlSWCghMuImA6W56hluaDp6h4-y2bWpVZmVgGGPsrqSltb1XHW1uV5zIa= cEwXHDdhqgmgZ_-ikg$ for graphic product...
