    Mesoscale Discussion 0625
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0133 PM CDT Sat Jun 02 2018

    Areas affected...a large portion of Arkansas and into portions of
    adjacent eastern Oklahoma and southern Missouri

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 021833Z - 022030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe risk is expected to gradually increase this
    afternoon in conjunction with afternoon heating. A severe weather
    watch my be required in time.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a weak/rather low-topped band
    of convection along what appears to be a pre-frontal wind-shift
    line, from south central Missouri southwest into eastern Oklahoma to
    the south of stabilized air over central Missouri as a result of
    overnight convection. Meanwhile, the airmass ahead of this current
    convective activity continues to heat/destabilize, and is nearing
    convective temperatures suggested by morning RAOBs, that is
    necessary to overcome substantial 700 mb capping.

    Above the cap, steep lapse rates were observed -- sufficient to
    support moderate to high surface-based CAPE values. Though
    deep-layer ascent appears to be lacking across the area, degree of
    instability and the eroding cap should become sufficient to support
    an eventual convective increase. Modest but sufficient shear -- per
    the degree of CAPE -- suggests risk for some eventual
    organization/possible upscale growth, which is hinted at in various
    CAM runs showing various iterations of a linear/bowing segment
    eventually evolving. While timing remains somewhat uncertain, risk
    may increase over the next few hours to the degree that WW issuance
    will need to be considered.
