MD 1785 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR FAR NORTHWEST KS INTO SOUTHWEST/CENTRAL NE
Mesoscale Discussion 1785
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0533 PM CDT Thu Sep 15 2022
Areas affected...Far northwest KS into southwest/central NE
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 152233Z - 160030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Storms capable of isolated damaging wind gusts are
possible early this evening. Watch issuance is not expected.
DISCUSSION...Storms are increasing in coverage and intensity from
northwest KS into southwest/central NE, within a moderately unstable
(MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg) and uncapped environment. Relatively
steep midlevel lapse rates will support initially vigorous updrafts,
though weak deep-layer shear is expected to limit storm
organization. Steep low-level lapse rates will support a primary
risk of isolated severe gusts, though some small hail will also be
possible as updrafts pulse upward in intensity. Some outflow
amalgamation is possible with time, which could continue to support
a threat of isolated severe gusts into this evening, but weak
deep-layer shear and increasing MLCINH should result in a weakening
trend near/after sunset. Due to the rather isolated and marginal
nature of the threat, watch issuance is not anticipated.
