MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1475
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0524 PM CDT SAT JUL 14 2007

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF NE KS/SE NEB...EXTREME SRN IA AND NRN MO
INTO WEST CNTRL IL

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 142224Z - 150000Z

THE LATEST RUC GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT INHIBITION HAS BECOME
NEGLIGIBLE AHEAD OF SURFACE FRONT INTO PRE-FRONTAL CONFLUENCE ZONE
EAST OF THE MID MISSOURI VALLEY INTO WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS...WHERE
MIXED LAYER CAPE NOW RANGES FROM 2000-3000 J/KG. THIS IS GENERALLY
WELL REMOVED FROM STRONGER FORCING/CYCLONIC FLOW AND DEEP LAYER
SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH GREAT LAKES POLAR TROUGH. AND...THE LACK OF
SIGNIFICANT MID/UPPER FORCING FOR UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION APPEARS TO
BE SLOWING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.

HOWEVER...A GRADUAL DEEPENING OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT APPEARS TO
BE UNDERWAY IN RESPONSE TO WEAK LOW-LEVEL FORCING...AND MODELS ARE
SUGGESTIVE OF INCREASING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY BY/SHORTLY AFTER
15/00Z...THROUGH THE 15/03Z TIME FRAME. DESPITE WEAK DEEP LAYER
SHEAR...INSTABILITY IS FAVORABLE FOR VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS WITH
POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. AND...UNSATURATED
THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES WITH RELATIVELY STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
MAY SUPPORT A FEW LOCALIZED DOWNBURSTS. WINDS COULD REMAIN FAIRLY
GUSTY ALONG SOUTHWARD SPREADING OUTFLOWS THROUGH MID TO LATE
EVENING.
