    Mesoscale Discussion 0583
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0259 AM CDT Thu May 31 2018

    Areas affected...northeast OK...southeast KS...southwest
    MO...northwest AR

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 310759Z - 310900Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong to severe gusts (50-65 mph) are possible over the
    next 1-2 hours over southeast KS and northeast OK. There is
    uncertainty whether an additional severe thunderstorm watch is
    needed farther east over southwest MO and extreme northwest AR.
    Short-term observational trends will be monitored and will likely
    dictate a go vs. no-go decision on a southwest MO/northwest AR
    watch.

    DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows a strong to severe squall line over
    southeast KS extending south-southwestward into the greater OKC
    area. The airmass ahead of the squall line over northeast
    OK/southeast KS is very moist with lower 70s degree F dewpoints.
    Surface observations indicate slightly less rich moisture generally
    east of a north-south line east of Springfield. Nonetheless, the
    00Z SGF RAOB showed a moderately buoyant airmass (2400 J/kg MLCAPE)
    which has only gradually lessened since earlier this evening. With
    a well-developed MCV now evident in radar imagery and a pronounced
    pressure rise in the trailing stratiform region (5-6 mb pressure
    rise in 2 hours at Ponca City, OK), it seems very likely the squall
    line will persist longer and farther east than recent runs of the
    HRRR indicated. Yet, recent measured gusts on the OK Mesonet have
    only observed gusts ranging between 40-50 mph. As such, will
    monitor surface observation trends over the next 30-60 minutes to
    help decide whether an additional severe thunderstorm watch is
    warranted farther east.
