    Mesoscale Discussion 0556
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0231 PM CDT Mon May 28 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of northwest Missouri...western Iowa...and
    far southern Wisconsin

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 281931Z - 282200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will continue to increase in coverage this
    afternoon. The strongest storms will be capable of producing
    isolated instances of severe hail and wind gusts. A WW is not
    expected.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery and radar/lightning data from
    1930Z shows thunderstorms increasing in coverage over the discussion
    area. Strong heating over the area and a moist boundary layer --
    especially over Missouri and southern Iowa -- has allowed for
    moderate/high instability to develop with MLCAPE values up to 3000
    J/kg. While strong instability is present, deep-layer shear is very
    low as tropospheric flow remains rather anemic (e.g., 15 knots or
    less at 500 mb), which will limit storm organization. Nevertheless,
    the strongest storms -- mainly those with the most persistent
    updrafts -- will pose at least some risk for isolated pulse-type
    severe wind gusts and marginally severe hail. The diurnally-driven
    storms should gradually weaken this evening as the boundary layer
    stabilizes. The coverage of severe threats is expected to be too low
    for a WW issuance.
