MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0660
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0312 PM CDT THU MAY 16 2013

AREAS AFFECTED...SERN WY...NEB PANHANDLE...NERN CO

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 162012Z - 162145Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT

SUMMARY...AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO COULD PRODUCE MARGINALLY SVR
HAIL/WIND THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE ISSUANCE OF A WW IS NOT NEEDED.

DISCUSSION...VERY ISOLATED STORM DEVELOPMENT IS OCCURRING IN A
REGION OF MARGINAL INSTABILITY OVER THE WRN FRINGES OF RICHER
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE PLAINS. MLCAPE VALUES WILL ONLY BE
AROUND 300-700 J/KG...THOUGH STEEP LOW/MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL
PROMOTE A FEW VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS. MODEST MID-LEVEL WLY FLOW IS
SUPPORTING SUFFICIENT DEEP SHEAR FOR OCCASIONALLY ORGANIZED
CONVECTIVE STRUCTURES...AND MARGINALLY SVR WINDS/HAIL CANNOT BE
RULED OUT WITH THE MOST INTENSE STORMS. STRONG DOWNDRAFTS WILL BE
SUPPORTED BY DCAPE VALUES NEARING 700-1000 J/KG WITH DEEP MIXED
LAYERS/INVERTED-VEE THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES. VERY LIMITED DEEP
FORCING FOR ASCENT SHOULD KEEP ANY SVR THREAT BRIEF/ISOLATED AS
STORM COVERAGE WILL BE LOW.
