    Mesoscale Discussion 0651
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0518 AM CDT Wed May 06 2026

    Areas affected...Parts of the TX Hill Country and Edwards Plateau

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 061018Z - 061245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe storms may develop near or after
    dawn.

    DISCUSSION...GPS PW values near Del Rio have substantially increased
    from near 1 inch at 00 UTC to above 1.5 inches as of 10 UTC, with
    surface dewpoints increasing through the low 70s F. A storm has
    recently developed northwest of Del Rio across eastern Terrell
    County, and this increase in deeper low-level moisture beneath
    relatively steep midlevel lapse rates may yield additional storm
    development near a weak surface front draped across the TX Hill
    Country vicinity. MUCAPE of 2000 J/kg, strong (60+ kt) deep-layer
    shear, and elongated hodographs are conditionally supportive of
    supercells capable of producing large to very large hail, if deep
    convection can mature within this regime.=20

    In the absence of substantial large-scale ascent, storm coverage
    through the morning is uncertain. However, given the favorable
    environment, watch issuance is possible if short-term trends support development of persistent intense storms.
