    Mesoscale Discussion 1206
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1217 PM CDT Mon Jul 30 2018

    Areas affected...Southern Kansas/Northern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 301717Z - 301945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A cluster of storms is moving south-southeast across
    central Kansas. Storms may intensify as the area re-destabilizes and
    severe hail is possible.

    DISCUSSION...An upper-level shortwave trough is digging southeast
    across the Great Plains today and per RAP analysis/water vapor
    imagery, a vorticity maximum is helping to provide forcing/ascent
    for the cluster of storms over central Kansas. These storms should
    continue moving south-southeast and may intensify as the area
    destabilizes (MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg) after the overnight
    convection. Shear is supportive of severe hail (effective bulk shear
    of 40-50 knots), but the overall multicellular evolution could
    inhibit sustained, rotating updrafts/cells. With the stronger flow
    aloft, storms should move rather quickly to the south-southeast
    through the afternoon. Additionally, with the upper-level support
    and low-level destabilization, cells may develop ahead of this
    cluster. Due to the multicellular structure and lack of steep
    low-level lapse rates, the overall severe potential/coverage
    precludes from issuing a watch at this time. However, if the cluster
    can organize into a QLCS, a watch may be necessary later this
    afternoon.
