    Mesoscale Discussion 0196
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0335 PM CDT Wed Mar 13 2019

    Areas affected...South-Central NE...North-Central KS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 132035Z - 132200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated, marginally severe thunderstorms are expected
    into the early evening from portions of north-central Kansas into
    south-central Nebraska. Locally strong winds and some hail are the
    primary threats.

    DISCUSSION...Strong boundary-layer heating has contributed to steep
    low-level lapse rates across western OK into extreme south-central
    NE, immediately ahead of an intense surface cyclone over southwest
    KS. Leading edge of large-scale forcing for ascent is spreading into
    this region with an arcing band of gradually deepening cumulus, with
    showers, now extending from Webster County NE-Saline County
    KS-Sumner County KS. Over the next few hours isolated thunderstorms
    should evolve within an strongly sheared environment characterized
    by surface-based cape on the order of 1000 J/kg. Given the strong
    shear, updrafts may struggle to organize due to the somewhat meager moisture/instability. Even so, robust updrafts should evolve with
    time and locally damaging winds and marginally severe hail should be
    the primary threats. At this time it appears the coverage/intensity
    of this activity will be insufficient to warrant a watch.
