    Mesoscale Discussion 1402
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0245 PM CDT Sat Sep 01 2018

    Areas affected...Western/Central KS...South-Central NE

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 011945Z - 012145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Gradually increasing thunderstorm coverage is anticipated
    with a resulting threat for a few instances of strong wind gusts
    and/or large hail. Trends are being monitored for a possible watch.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery has shown increased vertical
    development within the cluster of predominately mid-level cloudiness
    moving northeastward through western KS. This cloudiness is most
    likely tied to lift attendant to the shortwave trough moving into
    the same area. This lift, coupled with convergence along a surface
    trough and continued airmass destabilization (supported by diurnal
    heating and moisture advection), is expected to result in increased thunderstorm coverage over the next hour or two. The development
    early in this time frame will likely be elevated but eventual
    surface-based development is anticipated.

    Vertical shear is strong enough to support storm organization and
    robust updrafts. High-based character to these thunderstorms will
    favor the development of potentially strong downdrafts, which
    appears to be the primary severe threat. Some large hail is also
    possible within the more organized updrafts. Uncertainties regarding
    severe coverage preclude high watch probabilities but convective
    trends will be monitored closely.
