DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are developing across parts of western and central OK late tonight ahead of a convectively enhanced vorticity maxima now ejecting across the OK/TX Panhandles. This activity is developing in an environment with MUCAPE around 1500-2500 J/kg and effective shear near 30 kt. A 05z RAOB from OUN also shows steep midlevel lapse rates are present, but SB/ML CINH are also large. This may support briefly intense cores capable of producing hail. Regional VWP data and 850 mb RAP objective analysis indicates only modest low-level flow. Strong low-level inhibition and the absence of a stronger low-level jet to aid in storm organization should limit severe potential to a couple of briefly intense cells. Sporadic hail and gusty winds will be the main concern with this activity over the next few hours. While a severe thunderstorm watch does not appear likely at this time, trends will be monitored and a watch could be issued if better storm organization can occur. ...Leitman/Hart.. 07/11/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8zV2Td-wO_67CG2l_7RSPfbIHAvJ3kCevRbGX1U6RnUUldpCbjF14kA-XAIppOsHY0SrbDDoJ= FIPscYtUu8IfIwaoAU$ for graphic product...
