Mesoscale Discussion 0297
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0351 PM CDT Mon Apr 30 2018
Areas affected...Southeastern South Dakota through central Nebraska
and into far northwestern Kansas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 302051Z - 302145Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...A gradual increase in convection is expected this
afternoon across the discussion area. Large hail and damaging wind
gusts are the primary threats with this expected activity. A WW
issuance is likely for some portions of the region later this
evening.
DISCUSSION...Latest objective analysis indicate a cold front
extending from northwestern Minnesota south-southwestward to near
Ainsworth, NE and on into the northeastern Colorado Plains.
East/ahead of this boundary, a moderately unstable airmass has
developed due to surface warming of a low-level airmass
(characterized by 40s and 50s F dewpoints) along with steep low- and
mid-level lapse rates. Some capping has been noted throughout the
day, although an approaching mid-level vorticity maximum over
northeastern Colorado was helping to erode this cap as evidenced by
an increasing cumulus field in portions of southwestern Nebraska as
indicated on GOES-16 visible satellite.
With time, the cap should continue to erode from southwest to
northeast and result in isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity.
Large hail and damaging downburst winds will be the main threats
with this activity given supportive deep shear profiles for storm
organization, deeply mixed boundary layer thermodynamic profiles,
and 20-35F T/Td spreads. Coverage of storms is expected to be
sufficient enough for a severe thunderstorm watch issuance, and one
may be needed later this afternoon or early evening.
