    Mesoscale Discussion 0912
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0200 AM CDT Thu Jun 28 2018

    Areas affected...Northern/eastern MO...southern IL to southern
    KY/northern TN

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 280700Z - 280930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms should continue to gradually increase in coverage
    and perhaps intensity overnight with some of the storms potentially
    capable of hail to around severe levels. A watch is not currently
    expected given the relatively marginal/isolated nature of the
    overall risk.

    DISCUSSION...As already noted in east-central MO and more so western KY/northern TN early in the overnight (~130am CDT), storms are
    likely to continue to gradually increase in coverage and perhaps
    intensity overnight from north-central/eastern MO southeastward into
    southern IL and western/southern KY into northern TN. On the
    periphery of a stout Plains-centered elevated mixed layer, this
    increase in storm development will be aided by warm
    advection/moisture transport focused along/northeast of a frontal
    boundary that is draped generally northwest-southeast across the
    region. Source-region air mass 00Z observed soundings from locations
    such as Topeka, KS and Springfield, MO sampled very steep mid-level
    lapse rates with upwards of 5000 J/kg MUCAPE. While rising upper
    heights and relatively warm mid-level temperatures will not be
    overly conducive for larger hail magnitudes, ample elevated buoyancy
    and effective bulk shear generally around 35-40 kt could support
    some elevated rotating updrafts capable of hail to near severe
    levels through the early morning hours. Current thinking is that the
    overall risk will be relatively marginal and isolated in nature such
    that a Severe Thunderstorm Watch seems unlikely.
