    Mesoscale Discussion 1041

    Areas affected...portions of far southern Kansas into western
    Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 281709Z - 281915Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple instances of severe hail may accompany the
    stronger storms that manage to persist over the next few hours. The
    severe threat should remain isolated and a WW issuance is not
    expected.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple multicell clusters and supercells continue to
    progress across far southwestern KS into western OK, most of which
    have a history of severe hail, including a left-splitting storm in
    KS that has produced 2+ inch diameter hail. These storms continue to
    traverse an elevated buoyancy gradient, characterized by 8+ C/km
    mid-level lapse rates and 1000+ J/kg MUCAPE (most of which is above
    700 mb per latest RAP forecast soundings). Strong unidirectional
    speed shear above 700 mb is contributing to straight, elongated
    hodographs and around 40 kts of effective bulk shear. As such, any
    storms that persist within this CAPE/shear parameter space will have
    the potential to produce some hail (perhaps severe) over the next
    few hours, especially if any left-splitting supercells can
    materialize. However, there are some indications the ongoing storms
    may gradually weaken with time as they approach more stable air left
    behind by an earlier MCS. As such, any remaining severe threat may
    be brief and localized, so a WW issuance is not anticipated.
