    Mesoscale Discussion 1412

    Areas affected...Portions of west-central Kansas...north-central Kansas...portions of northeast Kansas...far southern Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 022020Z - 022215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A cluster of storms developing near Hays, KS is expected
    to eventually congeal into a linear segment. Initial development
    that can remain discrete will pose a threat for severe hail and
    perhaps a tornado. With time, as storm coverage increases and cold
    pools congeal, the primary threat will become severe wind gusts.
    Convective trends will be monitored for possible WW.

    DISCUSSION...A storm or two has recently initiated out of a cluster
    of agitated cumulus on visible satellite imagery near Hays, KS.
    Given the upstream ascent, evidenced by cirrus moving in from the
    southwest on visible satellite, this activity should continue to
    increase over the next few hours. Modest lapse rates near 6-6.5 C/km
    and effective deep-layer shear of 35-45 kts will support storm
    organization with isolated severe hail possible. A subtle
    differential heating boundary/wind shift draped across northern
    Kansas has enhanced the low-level hodograph curvature to a degree,
    if a storm can remain discrete and interact with this boundary, a
    tornado cannot be ruled out. However, as storm coverage increases,
    as depicted in much of the CAM guidance, storm interactions and
    upscale growth should limit tornado and hail potential. With time,
    an east/northeastward propagating linear segment will pose primarily
    a severe wind gust threat. Trends in convective mode/intensity will
    be monitored for possible WW issuance.
