    Mesoscale Discussion 0927

    Areas affected...NE Panhandle...Central NE...Southwest/South-Central
    SD

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 282310Z - 290115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Hail and strong wind gusts possible for the next hour or
    two. Trends will be monitored for watch issuance. However, a watch
    appears unlikely at this time.

    DISCUSSION...Persistent surface convergence, moisture advection, and
    increasing large-scale lift ahead of the approaching shortwave
    trough have resulted in a weakening of the convective inhibition
    across the region. Recent mesoanalysis suggests a small portion of
    southwest SD and adjacent portions of the NE Panhandle are now
    uncapped. This reduction of convective inhibition is confirmed by
    the quick development of the thunderstorm now over Sheridan County
    NE. Immediate downstream airmass is strongly unstable with recent
    mesoanalysis estimating MLCAPE over 5000 J/kg. As a result, some
    hail is likely with this storm. Additionally, given the dry
    mid-level air noted on the 19Z UNR sounding and more recent forecast
    soundings, potential exists for the development of strong downdraft
    capable of severe wind gusts. This potential is mirrored by DCAPE
    fields over 2000 J/kg on the most recent mesoanalysis.

    Given the relatively small spatial extent of the uncapped or weakly
    capped air, expectation is for a relatively confined severe threat.
    Areas farther east are not as warm and are displaced farther south
    from any forcing for ascent. As such, the need for a watch appears
    unlikely at this point. However, trends will be monitored closely,
    particularly given the potential for upscale growth amidst an
    increasing low-level jet.
