MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1577
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0500 PM CDT TUE AUG 23 2016
AREAS AFFECTED...ERN NEB...SWRN IA...NWRN MO...NERN KS
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 232200Z - 232330Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT
SUMMARY...SOME INCREASE IN THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT IS
EXPECTED INTO THIS EVENING...WITH A THREAT OF LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING
WIND...AND PERHAPS A TORNADO OR TWO. WATCH ISSUANCE IS POSSIBLE IN
THE NEXT 1-2 HRS.
DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE RECENTLY DEVELOPED ACROSS PORTIONS
OF SERN NEB/SWRN IA/NWRN MO ALONG A WARM FRONT. MODERATE BUOYANCY
AND SUFFICIENT EFFECTIVE SHEAR WILL SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR
ROTATING UPDRAFTS...RESULTING IN A RISK FOR LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING
WIND...AND PERHAPS A TORNADO OR TWO WITH ANY SUPERCELLS THAT CAN
BECOME ESTABLISHED. HOWEVER...CURRENT STORM MOTIONS ARE TAKING
UPDRAFTS QUICKLY TO THE COOL SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY...RESULTING IN
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE DURATION AND MAGNITUDE OF THE THREAT WITH
THIS ACTIVITY.
ADDITIONAL ATTEMPTS AT CONVECTIVE INITIATION ARE UNDERWAY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF SERN NEB JUST EAST OF LINCOLN...WHILE OTHER STRONG
STORMS ONGOING ACROSS N-CNTRL KS WILL BEGIN TO APPROACH NERN KS/SERN
NEB WITHIN 1-2 HRS. ANY STORMS THAT BECOME ESTABLISHED IN THIS
REGION WILL HAVE A LONGER RESIDENCE TIME WITHIN THE WARM
SECTOR...WITH SUFFICIENT EFFECTIVE SHEAR FOR ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS AND
A THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND...AND PERHAPS A TORNADO.
WATCH ISSUANCE IS POSSIBLE IN THE NEXT 1-2 HRS IF THE ACTIVITY ALONG
THE WARM FRONT AND/OR THE ACTIVITY FURTHER WEST INTO NERN KS/SERN
NEB APPEARS TO PRESENT A MORE WIDESPREAD AND IMMINENT SEVERE THREAT.
