Mesoscale Discussion 2003
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0528 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2024

Areas affected...Parts of western/central NE into northwest KS

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 262228Z - 270000Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Some increase in the severe wind/hail threat is possible
into the early evening.

DISCUSSION...Some increase in storm intensity has been noted over
the last hour over far southwest NE, in the vicinity of a weak
surface boundary. In the immediate vicinity of the boundary, MLCAPE
of 1000-1500 J/kg and effective shear of 30-40 kt will support
organized convection, with a threat of isolated hail and localized
strong/severe gusts. 

The evolution of this convection into the early evening remains
somewhat uncertain. While some MLCINH is present into parts of
west-central NE, there is potential for ongoing convection to spread
northeastward with time, especially if stronger outflow can beco*e
established. Should this occur, some threat for strong/severe gusts
and hail could persist into the evening. 

Isolated storm development also remains possible along an
outflow-reinforced front that has sagged into north-central NE, to
the south of WW 650. Favorable instability and deep-layer shear will
support a conditional severe hail/wind risk with any development in
this area. 

Observational trends will be monitored regarding the need for watch
issuance across this region.
