Mesoscale Discussion 0444
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0519 PM CDT Thu May 17 2018
Areas affected...Western Nebraska...southeastern Wyoming...and northeastern/north-central Colorado
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 172219Z - 180015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...High-based convection will continue to mature across
western portions of the discussion area while moving northeastward.
Hail and severe wind gusts are likely with the stronger cells and/or
linear segments. A WW issuance may be needed during the next couple
of hours pending convective trends.
DISCUSSION...Latest GOES-16, lightning, and radar imagery indicate
areas of increasing, high-based thunderstorm activity over the past
hour or so. These storms were in a warm, dry near-surface
environment, with nearly 50F dewpoint depressions and steep lapse
rates through the low and mid-levels. Storms should gradually
migrate eastward into areas of better low-level moisture
(characterized by 50s dewpoints) and moderate to strong instability
(MUCAPE around 3000 J/kg). With time, storms should mature into outflow-dominant cells and forward-propagating linear segments -
especially as they reach the better low-level moisture profiles
located downstream into the Nebraska Panhandle. Hail and damaging
wind gusts are expected with this activity - especially if storms
can manage to grow upscale into one or more clusters as suggested by high-resolution model guidance. Convective trends will be
monitored, and a severe thunderstorm watch may be needed over the
next couple of hours or so.
