    Mesoscale Discussion 1319
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0326 PM CDT Sat Aug 18 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of western/central NE and far northeastern
    CO

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 182026Z - 182300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong to locally damaging winds may occur with thunderstorms moving eastward through this evening. Watch issuance
    is unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...20Z surface observations show a lee trough located
    across western NE and northeastern CO. Low-level convergence along
    this boundary and large-scale ascent attendant to an eastward-moving
    shortwave trough have acted to generate thunderstorms across this
    region over the past hour or so. Temperatures in the mid to upper
    80s, dewpoints in the upper 50s to lower 60s, and modestly steep
    mid-level lapse rates around 7.0 C/km are contributing to about
    1500-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE along and east of the surface trough.
    Similar to farther north in western SD, stronger mid-level
    south-southwesterly winds are expected to generally lag to the west
    of the surface boundary through the evening. This should limit
    effective bulk shear values to no more than 20-25 kt across the warm
    sector, and thunderstorms will likely struggle to become organized.
    Even so, there may be some potential for isolated strong to locally
    damaging winds given steep low-level lapse rates as convection
    increases in coverage along the surface trough this afternoon into
    the early evening. A couple instances of marginally severe hail
    cannot be ruled out either. The overall severe threat will likely
    remain too isolated/marginal to warrant watch issuance.
