    Mesoscale Discussion 0946

    Areas affected...Texas Panhandle...Oklahoma Panhandle...far
    southeast Colorado...western Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 292329Z - 300200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated severe wind gusts and large hail may occur with
    the strongest and longest lived updrafts, particularly in northern
    portions of the discussion area. A WW issuance is not likely.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered storms have recently developed in far
    southeast Colorado into the Texas Panhandle in response to localized
    lift associated with a weak low-pressure trough and strong heating
    associated with a well-mixed boundary layer. Though deep-layer and
    low-level shear are poor throughout the discussion area, buoyancy is
    ample (given steep mid-level lapse rates over 7.5-9 C-km, with up to
    2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE present). Any updraft that can sustain itself
    in this highly unstable environment has the potential to produce at
    least marginally severe hail. Strong, gusty winds are also possible
    given that the airmass below 700 mb is dry enough to promote strong
    evaporative cooling.

    Later in the evening, an increase in the nocturnal low-level jet is
    expected, with enhanced convergence along the jet nose near the
    Kansas/Nebraska border. Here, storms may have the potential to
    sustain themselves for longer periods of time and perhaps become at
    least loosely organized given the convergence and associated feed of
    higher theta-E air at the low-level jet terminus (as indicated by a
    variety of model guidance).

    Still, lack of stronger shear suggests that the overall severe
    threat will be too sparse to warrant a WW. As such, a WW issuance is
    not expected at this time.
