    Mesoscale Discussion 0440
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0158 PM CDT Thu May 17 2018

    Areas affected...Far eastern Wyoming...Nebraska Panhandle...western
    South Dakota...far southwest North Dakota...and far southeast
    Montana

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 171858Z - 172030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will increase in the next few hours posing a
    risk for severe wind gusts and severe hail. A Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch is likely.

    DISCUSSION...Strong heating over the area is contributing to
    thunderstorm development over the Laramie Range, along/north of the
    western portion of a decaying outflow boundary, and over the Black
    Hills. Thunderstorms are expected to be most numerous over the
    northern portion of the area in the next hour or so, then
    develop/overspread a little later over the southern portion of the
    area as thunderstorms move off the Mountains, and potentially
    develop along the lee trough. The air mass north of the old outflow
    boundary has been somewhat slow to destabilize, but MLCAPE is now
    analyzed from 500 J/kg near the North Dakota/South Dakota border to
    over 2000 J/kg over central South Dakota, with rapidly decreasing
    MLCIN with time. Near-surface winds have maintained somewhat of an
    easterly component north of the outflow boundary, which is
    contributing to 35-40 kt of 0-6 kt shear over that area. The
    abundance of thunderstorms developing on recent GOES-16 imagery,
    steep mid-level lapse rates, and deeply-mixed boundary layers should
    contribute to strong cold pool development and upscale growth into
    mixed multicell/supercell clusters through the afternoon. Severe
    wind gusts and severe hail will be the primary threats.

    Over the southern area, strong heating and boundary-layer dewpoints
    holding in the mid-to-upper 50s is contributing to higher MLCAPEs of
    2500-3000 J/kg. However, given the rather weak deep-layer shear,
    thunderstorms are also expected to consist of multicell/supercell
    modes initially, with a consolidated area of thunderstorms growing
    upscale with time in the form of a loosely-organized MCS.

    Given the expected coverage of thunderstorms, widespread steep lapse
    rates, and sufficient moisture, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is
    likely, perhaps requiring issuance over the northern area first,
    followed by a second Watch over the southern part of the area.

    Areas affected...Far East-Central TX...Northern/Central LA

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 100...

    Valid 250708Z - 250815Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 100 continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for damaging wind gusts and a tornado or two
    persists across far east-central TX and northern/central LA.
    Convective trends will be monitored closely for downstream watch
    issuance before 08Z.

    DISCUSSION...Northern portion of the convective line has recently
    surged forward as it interacts with a supercell that was previously
    ahead of the line. This well-developed supercell has produced
    several TDSs amidst a cycling low-level mesocyclone. Even with the
    convective line overtaking this storm, tornadoes remain possible as
    does a relatively higher threat for damaging wind gusts. Storm
    motion estimate of 230 degrees at 40 kt takes this storm to the edge
    of the watch around 0730Z. A less favorable thermodynamic
    environment exists across far southern AR so severe storm
    persistence into that region is uncertain. Convective trends will be
    monitored closely.

    Farther south, the line of storms has been less progressive thus
    far. However, recent development ahead of the line and strengthening
    mid-level flow approaching from southeast TX may promote faster
    storm motion over the next few hours. Current storm motion takes
    this portion of the line to the edge of the watch by 08Z.

    Overall thermodynamic environment is less favorable downstream but
    the well-organized nature of the convective line may be able to
    compensate for this, resulting in a downstream threat for damaging
    wind gusts and isolated tornadoes. Convective trends will be
    monitored closely for possible downstream watch issuance.
