    Mesoscale Discussion 1062
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0723 PM CDT Mon Jul 16 2018

    Areas affected...Parts of southeastern Wyoming...western Nebraska
    and adjacent southern South Dakota

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 170023Z - 170230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms may continue to increase and organize
    through the 7-10 PM MDT time frame, accompanied by increasing
    potential for strong wind gusts across the Nebraska Panhandle,
    including the Scottsbluff and Alliance areas. It remains possible
    that a severe weather watch will become necessary this evening.

    DISCUSSION...Coverage of vigorous thunderstorm development is in the
    process of increasing along a low-level convergence zone now curving
    from west of Winner SD through the northern Nebraska PANHANDLE.
    This is likely being supported by inflow of moist boundary layer air characterized by CAPE on the order of 2000+ J/kg, and seems likely
    to persist and increase further into this evening. This may
    eventually be enhanced by the development of a 30 kt southerly
    nocturnal low-level jet, as the boundary layer begins to decouple
    during the 01-04Z time frame.

    A consolidating and strengthening cold pool associated with this
    activity, and perhaps another cluster of thunderstorms now spreading southeastward to the east of the Laramie Range, may eventually begin
    to accelerate southward aided by modest northwesterly mid-level
    flow. Although deep layer wind fields in general are currently
    weak, veering with height is already contributing to sufficient
    vertical shear for the evolution of an organized convective system,
    and the strengthening low-level jet will increase this further.
    This may be sufficient to support increasing potential for severe
    convective surface gusts by late evening, if not earlier.
