Mesoscale Discussion #521

A mesoscale discussion has been issued by the Storm Prediction Center over North Texas, the Oklahoma panhandle, and southwest Kansas as towering cumulus clouds appear to be signaling the start of today's convection.
With the dryline only a little ways away from this mesoscale discussion, and dew points/instability rapidly rising in and to the east of this discussion, any convection that does start up will quickly become strong/severe and may have some rotation as a jet streak progresses eastward.
