MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 2023
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1054 PM CDT THU OCT 04 2012

AREAS AFFECTED...NERN OK...FAR NWRN AR...SERN/E-CNTRL
KS...CNTRL/SWRN MO

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 050354Z - 050630Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A THREAT FOR MARGINALLY SVR HAIL WILL EXIST INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...AND THE ISSUANCE OF A WW IS NOT NEEDED.

DISCUSSION...AN UPTICK IN ELEVATED CONVECTION IS ANTICIPATED DURING
THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITHIN A ZONE OF WAA/ISENTROPIC ASCENT ATOP THE
SHALLOW COLD DOME. REGIONAL RADAR AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SUGGEST THAT CONVECTION...THUS FAR...HAS BEEN MOST ROBUST FROM CNTRL
MO INTO E-CNTRL/SERN KS. FARTHER SOUTH...RELATIVELY WARMER MID-LEVEL
TEMPERATURES ALOFT HAVE AIDED IN SUPPRESSING CONVECTION.
HOWEVER...MODEST MID-LEVEL COOLING IN ASSOCIATION WITH HEIGHT
FALLS/ASCENT SHOULD ALLOW CONVECTION TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY ACROSS THE DISCUSSION AREA. WITH 500-1000 J/KG OF CAPE FOR
PARCELS ROOTED WITHIN THE NEARLY SATURATED LAYER APPROXIMATELY
BETWEEN 850 AND 800 MB BENEATH AN EML...STRONG STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE. AND...WITH GENERALLY 30-35 KT OF EFFECTIVE BULK
SHEAR...OCCASIONALLY PERSISTENT MULTICELL/MARGINAL SUPERCELL
STRUCTURES WITH ISOLATED INSTANCES OF MARGINALLY SVR HAIL WILL BE
POSSIBLE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE ABSENCE OF GREATER
INSTABILITY SHOULD PRECLUDE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SVR THREAT.
