    Mesoscale Discussion 0533
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0546 PM CDT Sat May 26 2018

    Areas affected...Eastern Montana...western North Dakota...and far
    northwest South Dakota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely

    Valid 262246Z - 270045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to develop across the plains of
    eastern Montana in the next few hours. These thunderstorms will pose
    a risk of large hail and severe thunderstorm winds. A severe
    thunderstorm watch will be needed by 00Z (6 PM MDT).

    DISCUSSION...Diffluent mid-level flow will continue to overspread
    portions of eastern Montana this evening as a short-wave trough
    rotates through the larger-scale flow associated with the closed low
    over Utah. In response to this, synoptic-scale ascent will act to
    weaken the remaining convective inhibition and allow thunderstorms
    to develop across the plains of eastern Montana. The airmass
    available to these thunderstorms is characterized by most-unstable
    CAPE values up to 4000 J/kg (although 2000 J/kg will be more common)
    and deep-layer shear values of 30-40 knots. This environment will be
    more than sufficient to support thunderstorm organization and
    longevity.

    Somewhat large temperature-dewpoint spreads (on the order of 30-40
    F) will yield a potential for strong, cold outflows with additional thunderstorm development along the outflows. Eventually these
    outflows should either grow upscale enough to be considered a
    mesoscale convective system (MCS), or congeal into one. Given the
    deep-layer shear and instability axis, this MCS should move eastward
    with time, persisting through the evening (past sunset). With time a
    slight turn to the east-southeast may occur over the Dakotas as the
    better instability will remain across western and central South
    Dakota.

    A severe thunderstorm watch will be issued by 00Z (6 PM MDT) to
    account for the initial thunderstorm threats of large hail and
    strong, gusty outflows.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0533
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0225 PM CDT Sat May 04 2019

    Areas affected...Portions of West TX

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 041925Z - 042200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated supercell or two will be possible later this
    afternoon. Limited coverage should preclude the need for watch
    issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has recently initiated north of Marfa and
    south of Fort Stockton. This activity is being supported by moderate instability, with low-level southeasterly flow transporting better
    moisture into the higher terrain and steep midlevel lapse rates in
    place. As MLCINH continues to erode, additional storm development is
    possible, and one or two supercells may eventually evolve out of the
    ongoing convection, given effective shear of 35-45 kt across the
    region. With large-scale ascent essentially absent from the region,
    storm coverage will likely remain sparse, but a conditional risk of
    large hail and locally damaging winds will be present with any
    supercell that develops. Due to the limited coverage of the threat,
    watch issuance is not anticipated.
