    Mesoscale Discussion 0324
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0721 PM CDT Wed May 02 2018

    Areas affected...Southeastern IA...northern IL...and far northwest
    IN.

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 63...

    Valid 030021Z - 030145Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 63
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Current storms are at peak intensity. Loss of daytime
    heating will lead to reduced surface-based instability through the
    evening.

    DISCUSSION...A few of the stronger storms in northern Illinois have
    been efficient hail producers with greater than 2 inch hail reported
    with the strongest cell near Rockford. Effective shear around 45
    knots in northern Illinois has been sufficient for sustained,
    rotating updrafts with these stronger cells. Surface-based
    instability has begun to wane with the loss of daytime heating,
    which will cause these storms to weaken over the next hour or two.

    Expect convection to continue across the area into the overnight
    hours as storms continue to develop along the front and slowly shift southeastward. There will continue to be a threat for some large
    hail from these storms even after dark, with MUCAPE around 1500-2000
    J/kg and moderately steep mid-level lapse rates, especially in
    western portions of the watch.

    The current ongoing MCS along the MO/KS border may pose a wind
    threat to the current watch area as it continues to grow upscale.
    Given moderate instability and 50 to 60 knots of effective shear,
    expect this MCS to remain organized to at least eastern MO/western
    IL, but the stabilizing effect of additional convective development
    ahead of this line may disrupt its eastward progression as indicated
    by the 21Z HRRR. This will continue to be monitored for any
    additional watches/extensions later this evening.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0324
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0223 PM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019

    Areas affected...Portions of North Carolina and northern South
    Carolina

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 131923Z - 132130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A few strong to severe storms with a risk of marginally
    severe hail and a few strong wind gusts will be possible through the
    rest of the afternoon. No WW is anticipated, but trends in
    convective evolution will be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...A weak perturbation approaching the western Carolinas
    has helped to initiate several thunderstorms along a stationary
    boundary from near GSP into northeastern North Carolina. Rich
    boundary-layer moisture (dewpoints in the upper-60s to low 70s in
    many locations) has allowed instability to reach near 1000 J/kg
    MLCAPE. Objective mesoanalysis shows effective deep layer shear at
    30-50 kts across the discussion area. With mid-level lapse rates
    around 7 C/km, at least some hail risk will exist with stronger
    storms. Otherwise, a few stronger wind gusts will be the main
    threats. Along and near the boundary, a few areas of more backed
    surface flow exist, though flow remains weak. In these areas, it is
    possible that a few storms will show some ability to rotate in the
    low levels, as has been noted with a thunderstorm in Burke County,
    NC. However, relatively weak buoyancy and weak surface flow should
    minimize the tornado threat. Convective trends will continue to be
    monitored, but the overall spatial extent of the threat appears
    limited enough at this time that no watch is anticipated.
