    Mesoscale Discussion 0541

    0212 PM CDT Sun May 27 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of Michigan

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 271912Z - 272145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will continue to increase in coverage this
    afternoon with an isolated severe hail and damaging wind threat
    possible in the strongest storms. A WW issuance is unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery and NLDN lightning data at
    1900 UTC show that thunderstorms are beginning to form over portions
    of north-central Michigan as a weak mid-level shortwave trough
    approaches. These storms are forming in an environment characterized
    by strong heating (e.g., MLCAPE values around 1000-2000 J/kg) and
    effective bulk shear values of 20-30 knots (greatest near Lake
    Huron). Storms that move through this environment will be capable of
    producing at least isolated instances of severe hail and damaging
    wind gusts as they move southeastward. Any storms should gradually
    weaken later this evening as the boundary layer stabilizes with the
    onset of nocturnal cooling. At this time, the coverage of severe
    threats appears too low for a WW issuance.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0541
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0226 PM CDT Sun May 05 2019

    Areas affected...Western KS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 051926Z - 052130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe thunderstorm threat will increase with time
    this afternoon. Hail (potentially very large) and severe wind gusts
    will be the primary threats. Watch issuance is possible.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have recently developed across far
    western KS, with additional cumulus noted along a weak cold front
    across northwest KS. The short-term evolution of the ongoing storms
    is uncertain due to lingering MLCINH immediately downstream, but
    continued heating south the cold front will further erode the cap
    with time, increasing the potential for sustained surface-based
    storms, both near the cold front and along a diffuse dryline across
    southwest KS.

    Despite relatively limited boundary-layer moisture, cold
    temperatures aloft (-15C to -18C at 500 mb) at steep midlevel lapse
    rates are supporting MLCAPE ranging from 500 J/kg across far western
    KS to around 2000 J/kg further east, per 19Z objective mesoanalysis.
    Modest westerly midlevel flow is supporting effective shear of 30-40
    kt, which will support the potential for organized structures with
    time. While large-scale ascent is rather limited, a few supercells
    may eventually evolve later this afternoon. The environment will be
    quite favorable for hail, and a conditional threat for very large
    hail will be present with any supercell. Isolated severe wind gusts
    will also be possible.

    While the short-term coverage of the severe threat remains
    uncertain, watch issuance is possible at some point this afternoon
    for portions of western KS if development of additional storms
    appears imminent.
