MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1119
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0931 AM CDT MON JUN 11 2012

AREAS AFFECTED...MO...AR

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY

VALID 111431Z - 111530Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...95 PERCENT

SUMMARY...SEVERE STORM POTENTIAL IS EXPECTED TO EXPAND IN COVERAGE
FROM PARTS OF SRN MO INTO NRN AR OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS LIFT
ALONG MATURE MCS COLD POOL SPREADS SOUTH INTO AN INCREASINGLY
UNSTABLE AIR MASS OVER THESE AREAS.

DISCUSSION...A CLUSTER OF STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WERE
OCCURRING WITHIN SWRN FLANK OF MATURE MCS ACROSS SWRN MO THIS
MORNING. THIS SYSTEM EXISTS AMIDST WELL-DEFINED DIFFLUENCE IN THE
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF MID/UPPER LEVEL JET WHILE LOW LEVEL ASCENT
IS LIKELY BEING MAXIMIZED BY ISENTROPIC LIFT ON THE NOSE OF A
25-30KT WSWLY LOW LEVEL JET. BOTH SGF AND LZK MORNING SOUNDINGS
DEPICT THE POTENTIAL FOR ABUNDANT SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY TO
EVOLVE THROUGH THE REST OF THE MORNING AS TEMPS WARM THROUGH THE
80SF. AND..IT IS LIKELY THAT LIFT ALONG THE ADVANCING MCS COLD POOL
SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO ADDITIONAL SURFACE-BASED STORM DEVELOPMENT.
WHILE THE GREATEST INSTABILITY WILL DEVELOP TO THE SOUTH OF STRONGER
MID LEVEL FLOW ACROSS NRN MO...AND CAPPING ACROSS PARTS OF OK AND
WRN AR DOES INTRODUCE SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH STORM PERSISTENCE INTO
THESE AREAS...LATEST TRENDS IN RADAR AND SATELLITE DATA SUPPORT AN
INCREASE IN SEVERE POTENTIAL SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A WATCH
ACROSS THE REGION.
