    Mesoscale Discussion 0368

    Areas affected...Western IA and far eastern NE

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 082056Z - 082300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are expected to develop in eastern NE and western
    IA early this evening. The main threats will be isolated large hail
    and damaging winds. No watch is expected.

    DISCUSSION...An outflow boundary from the morning convection has
    remained stationary along a line from KCKP to KAXA through early
    this afternoon. Along and south of this boundary, MLCAPE has
    increased to 1000 J/kg as temperatures have risen into the mid-80s
    with dewpoints in the mid-50s. Instability may increase a bit more
    over the next few hours as dewpoints in the upper 50s to the
    southwest advect northward and slightly cooler 500 mb temps move
    overhead. Latest GOES-16 1-minute visible imagery shows a cumulus
    field deepening and congealing in the area south of KCKP. That area
    is still weakly capped per 20Z mesoanalysis, but aforementioned
    destabilizing factors may lead to storm initiation in the next hour
    or two. Storm development will likely begin at the confluence of the
    outflow boundary and the richer theta-e airmass in northwestern IA
    with additional development continuing further south along the
    frontal boundary to the west through the evening. Deep-layer shear
    remains weak across this area which will limit storm organization.
    However, a few strong storms capable of damaging wind and large hail
    are possible once these storms develop.

    Areas affected...north central Texas through extreme southern
    Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 172030Z - 172230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Trends are being monitored for development of supercells
    by 22Z over north central TX. Very large hail appears to be the main
    threat, but isolated damaging wind and a tornado are also possible.

    DISCUSSION...The dryline continues to mix eastward into western
    portion of north central TX this afternoon. Diabatic warming within
    the downstream warm sector, steep (8-8.5 C/km) mid-level lapse rates
    and dewpoints in the low 60s F have contributed to a corridor of
    moderate instability with 2000-2500 J/kg MLCAPE. Water vapor imagery
    shows a zone of mid-upper level drying/subsidence spreading into
    north central TX in wake of a leading shortwave trough. The
    subsidence and a remnant capping inversion within base of the
    elevated mixed layer (sampled by the 18Z Fort Worth RAOB) lends
    uncertainty to the timing extent of thunderstorm initiation this
    afternoon. However, it remains possible that at least a couple of
    storms might initiate along the dryline where strong convergence and
    deep mixing through the inversion layer exists. Should the storms
    develop, effective bulk shear from 45-50 kt would support supercells
    with very large hail the main threat. Low-level shear and size of
    0-1 km hodographs will remain relatively modest which should limit
    overall tornado threat. However, a tornado or two cannot be ruled
    out.
