    Mesoscale Discussion 0540
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0138 PM CDT Sun May 27 2018

    Areas affected...Eastern Colorado into western Kansas...and the
    Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 271838Z - 272115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Large hail and damaging wind are quite likely this
    afternoon across eastern Colorado into western Kansas, and southward
    into the Texas Panhandle.

    DISCUSSION...Strong heating continues across the High Plains near a
    lee trough, and in advance of a belt of stronger midlevel flow with
    the upper trough to the west. Low-level winds will continue to
    strengthen and back to southeasterly, enhancing the westward
    transport of moisture and gradual upslope. Forecast soundings show
    very steep lapse rates developing through a deep layer, and this
    combined with peak heating will aid updraft acceleration. While flow
    aloft is not particularly strong, the veering of the winds with
    height is creating long hodographs clearly supportive of severe
    storms. A mixed storm mode of cells and possible squall line is
    expected, with capable of damaging wind-driven hail. Capping will
    become a concern into the evening, with an abrupt decrease in
    intensity expected around the longitude of 100 W.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0540
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0135 PM CDT Sun May 05 2019

    Areas affected...Central/eastern NE...Western/central IA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 051835Z - 052100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...An increase in thunderstorm coverage is expected later
    this afternoon, with a threat of isolated severe hail and wind.

    DISCUSSION...Elevated convection has been ongoing across northeast
    NE since this morning north of a cold front, with more intense
    storms recently noted closer to the frontal boundary across northern
    IA. Meanwhile gradually increasing cumulus is noted along the
    surface boundary from eastern NE into central IA.

    Despite limited low-level moisture, cold temperatures aloft (-16C to
    -20C at 500 mb) and steep midlevel lapse rates are supporting MLCAPE
    of 500-1250 J/kg per recent mesoanalyses as temperatures warm into
    the 70s south of the front. Ongoing slightly elevated convection
    will capable of producing isolated severe hail in the short term,
    though storms should remain relatively disorganized given marginal
    effective shear less than 30 kt. With time, somewhat more organized
    convection may develop along the frontal boundary, with a continued
    threat of isolated severe hail. Steep low-level lapse rates where
    deep mixing occurs south of the cold front may also support isolated
    severe wind gusts, though generally weak low-level flow should
    mitigate this threat to some extent.

    The eventual need for a watch remains uncertain due to the
    relatively limited magnitude of the threat, though watch issuance
    for some portion of this area is possible later this afternoon as
    additional storms develop along the cold front.
