[html]MD 0445 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR NORTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE OZARKS
Mesoscale Discussion 0445
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1243 PM CDT Mon Apr 11 2022
Areas affected...northeastern Oklahoma east-northeastward across the
Ozarks
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 111743Z - 111945Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Elevated storms -- posing a local risk for severe-caliber
hail and perhaps gusty winds -- will continue to expand across the
Ozarks vicinity. WW issuance is not anticipated at this time.
DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows convection increasing in
coverage/intensity across southeastern Kansas/northeastern
Oklahoma/southwestern Missouri, atop a cool/stable boundary layer.
The convective increase is occurring as large-scale ascent --
associated with a mid-level short-wave trough now crossing eastern
Oklahoma and eastern Kansas -- spreads atop the region per recent WV
imagery.
With rather steep lapse rates aloft supporting ample elevated cape
for occasionally vigorous updrafts, and aided by strong (60 kt)
west-southwesterly mid-level flow, a few sustained storms may prove
capable of producing hail in excess of an inch in diameter. At this
time however, it appears that risk will remain local/isolated, and
thus not requiring WW consideration over the next hour or two.
