    Mesoscale Discussion 0914
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0720 AM CDT Thu Jun 28 2018

    Areas affected...CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEBRASKA...SOUTHWEST IOWA...AND
    FAR NORTHWEST MISSOURI

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 281220Z - 281445Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...An intense thunderstorm continues to move east through
    central Nebraska capable of producing strong winds and large hail. A
    favorable environment exists ahead of the storm and a watch may be
    needed this morning. To accommodate this potential, a Slight Risk is
    currently planned to be introduced with the 13Z outlook.

    DISCUSSION...An isolated, severe thunderstorm complex has developed
    across central Nebraska within a broad warm-air advection regime
    occurring within a west-southwesterly low-level jet. This
    thunderstorm has been moving east within a narrow 850-millibar moist
    axis that is being focused by increasing convergence on the nose of
    the aforementioned low-level jet. This moist axis extends
    east-southeast from central Nebraska into central Missouri and
    should depict the corridor of most likely movement for the central
    Nebraska thunderstorm. A very unstable environment is found within
    this moist plume as 850-millibar dewpoint temperatures around 18-19C
    combine with mid-level lapse rates on the order of 8.5-9 C/km to
    yield most-unstable CAPE values between 2500 to excess of 4000 J/kg.


    The region of interest is on the southern periphery of the stronger
    deep-layer shear. This, in turn, may actually help the thunderstorm
    develop a strong cold pool with eventual upscale growth into a
    mesoscale convective system (MCS). Given the strength and
    orientation of the low-level jet, and the extreme instability
    upshear of this potential MCS, repeated multi-cell development on
    the southern/southwestern side of the thunderstorm complex should pr
    mote a turn to the east-southeastward through the morning, aligning
    it with the moist axis stretching into Missouri. As diurnal heating
    strengthens during the morning, the residual nocturnal boundary
    layer should mix out and low-level lapse rates should steepen
    increasing the threat for strong thunderstorm outflow and potential forward-propagating MCS.

    To accommodate this potential, a Slight Risk is currently planned to
    be introduced with the 13Z outlook.

    In the more immediate time frame, some uncertainty remains with how
    things will evolve this morning, but confidence is increasing that a
    watch may become necessary.
