[html]MD 1281 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 1281
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0502 PM CDT Fri Jun 24 2022
Areas affected...Central High Plains
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 242202Z - 250030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat is likely to develop across
parts of the central High Plains this evening. But the threat should
be marginal, and weather watch issuance appears unlikely.
DISCUSSION...The latest water-vapor imagery shows a shortwave trough
over the central and northern Rockies, with mid-level moisture
concentrated across the central and northern High Plains ahead of
the trough. At the surface, the western edge of a moist airmass is
located from northwest Kansas extending northward into western
Nebraska and western South Dakota. Scattered thunderstorms have
developed ahead of the trough in parts of the central High Plains.
This convection will gradually expand in coverage, moving eastward
into the stronger instability. The RAP suggests that MLCAPE is
generally in the 1000 to 2000 J/kg range across much of western
Nebraska and northwest Kansas. This co*bined with 0-6 km shear near
35 kt, evident on the WSR-88D VWP from North Platte, should be
enough for an isolated severe threat. Hail and a few marginally
severe gusts will be possible this evening.
