    Mesoscale Discussion 1322
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0242 PM CDT Sun Aug 19 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of northeastern NM

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 191942Z - 192215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...The threat for isolated large hail should increase this
    afternoon. Watch issuance is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Within large-scale upper troughing across the
    northern/central Plains, a shortwave trough with embedded vorticity
    maximum is evident over eastern CO as of 1940Z. Northwesterly
    mid-level flow of 35-40 kt will overspread parts of the southern
    High Plains through this evening, and weak low-level flow will
    continue to encouraging convective development along the Sangre de
    Cristo Mountains and adjacent plains of northeastern NM this
    afternoon. With a prior frontal passage across this region,
    low-level moisture remains somewhat limited, and surface dewpoints
    are generally in the 50s. This will likely prevent any more than
    weak instability from developing through peak heating. RAP forecast
    soundings across this region suggest that MLCAPE will remain
    generally in the 500-750 J/kg range. Regardless, the strengthening mid/upper-level northwesterly flow will allow for 40-50 kt of
    effective bulk shear, and one or two high-based supercells could
    develop and move southeastward through the early evening. Mid-level
    lapse rates are not overly steep, but the plentiful shear should
    allow for mid-level updraft rotation and mainly an isolated large
    hail threat.
