    Mesoscale Discussion 0297

    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.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0297
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0758 PM CDT Mon Apr 08 2019

    Areas affected...Central and eastern Mississippi into western
    Alabama

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 090058Z - 090300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms may pose a risk for marginally severe damaging wind
    gusts and hail. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out. Given the
    isolated nature of the threat, a WW issuance is not anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...An uptick in multicellular convection has recently been
    observed within the past two hours across central into eastern
    portions of Mississippi, within close proximity of a surface low,
    where low-level convergence is maximized. 100-150 J/kg 0-3km MLCAPE
    is in place across eastern Mississippi into far western Alabama,
    fostering an environment supportive of vigorous convection.

    Nonetheless, deep-layer and low-level shear are relatively mediocre
    across the warm sector, and with a nocturnally cooling/stabilizing
    boundary layer, updraft intensity is expected to wane with time. The
    more vigorous updrafts may promote an isolated marginally severe
    hail threat. A few damaging wind gusts are also possible. A few of
    the storms have also exhibited transient supercell characteristics,
    with brief periods of mid to low-level rotation noted. Given the
    propensity of cells to merge (effectively weakening organized
    rotation via cell interactions) along with a stabilizing boundary
    layer, any tornado threat that remains will likely be brief in
    nature.

    As the remaining severe threat is expected to be short lived and
    isolated in nature, a WW issuance is not expected at this time.
