[html]MD 0930 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN INDIANA.
Mesoscale Discussion 0930
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0602 PM CDT Thu May 26 2022
Areas affected...portions of central and western Indiana.
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 262302Z - 270030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A brief/weak tornado will remain possible with
thunderstorms this evening across parts of western and central IN.
DISCUSSION...Evening WV imagery across the Midwest showed a well
developed mid-level cyclone across parts of the Midwest and central
MS Valley. To the east of this low, deep southerly flow was
overspreading a weakly unstable airmass across western and central
IN. SPC mesoanalysis shows modest buoyancy (500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE)
has developed beneath the -15 C cold pocket near the mid-level
cyclone, which was supporting several clusters of thunderstorms.
This buoyancy, concentrated mostly in the low-levels (0-3km MLCAPE
100-200 J/kg), ahead of the slow moving cold front across western IN
will likely continue to support a few strong low-level updrafts this
evening. With moderate vertical shear and bountiful vertical
vorticity near the closed low/cold front, low-level parcel
acceleration may enhance vorticity stretching potential to support a
brief and weak supercell/landspout tornado through this evening.
This threat is expected to be relatively brief before nocturnal
cooling stabilizes the boundary layer. Given the expected limited
threat, a weather watch is unlikely.
