Severe Weather Threat 5/25-5/26, 2024

Are the storms south of the Red River likely to limit destabilisation and inflow over the warm sector farther north, in OK, preventing those HRRR/NAM solutions?
Just at an initial glance, they seem to be more cellular and less cold pooling. So, if that remains the case, probably not. It still can't be ruled out though.

Not looking likely at this point because destabilizing has long occurred already.

Cape values and dew points in Oklahoma are nearing 7000 and middle 70s, it’s going to take a lot to sap that up.

The concern was, despite that being the case, the storms could congeal and cold pool and send outflow outward to work over the instability that's already in place to the north. But that doesn't appear to be happening so far.

@Fred Gossage Per mesoscale analysis, in your view, does the environment locally favour upscale growth within the next two to three hours?

Personally, I have trouble believing that those cells down in N TX will stay discrete long enough to avoid creating a cold pool. But we shall certainly wait and see.
