    Mesoscale Discussion 0948
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0937 PM CDT Fri Jun 29 2018

    Areas affected...West central and northwest Kansas...south central
    Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 300237Z - 300430Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated severe hail and gusty winds possible with loosely
    organized convective complex. Convective trends are being monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Isolated convective cells in far western Kansas have
    recently loosely organized into a north-to-south oriented linear
    structure, with marginally severe hail and damaging wind gusts
    observed within the past hour. Though stronger effective bulk shear
    remains north of the discussion area, plenty of buoyancy (3000-4000
    J/kg MUCAPE) owing to 7.5+ C/km mid-level lapse rates remains in
    place across the region.

    Storms in northwest Kansas will be moving eastward normal to the
    axis of a strengthening LLJ. Convergence along a frontal zone
    roughly located along a OFK-GRI-GLD line, and elevated feed of
    higher theta-E air associated with the LLJ, suggest that storms may
    stay loosely organized and maintain themselves for at least a few
    more hours, especially along the northern end of the convective
    line. CAM guidance however suggests that storms will dissipate later
    this evening.

    Given the expected brevity of and isolated/marginal nature of the
    severe threat, confidence in a WW issuance is not high, but
    convective trends will continue to be monitored.
