    Mesoscale Discussion 0225

    Areas affected...portions of Long Island New York...Connecticut...Massachusetts...far southern New Hampshire

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 080152Z - 080345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple of damaging gusts may accompany the stronger
    segments of an approaching squall line. Greater damaging gust
    coverage is questionable and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance
    does not appear likely at this time.

    DISCUSSION...A narrow, low-topped squall line continues to rapidly
    progress eastward given strong forcing along the surface lee-trough
    axis and intense 850-500 mb wind fields. Multiple instances of near
    50 kt gusts and tree damage have been reported over the least few
    hours. Strong mechanical mixing within the squall is likely
    supporting the damaging gust threat in absence of any appreciable
    buoyancy. However, 21Z RAP forecast soundings valid for 02Z depict a
    saturated but stable surface-925 mb layer across portions of lower
    New England, which is expected to weaken mechanical mixing to some
    degree.

    The need for a downstream Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance remains
    unclear. The current thinking is that damaging gusts will become
    more sparse with time and areas of Long Island into southern New
    Hampshire will not need a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance.
    Nonetheless, given considerable momentum of the ongoing squall, at
    least a slight chance exists for a corridor of strong wind gusts
    causing sporadic tree damage, so conditions will continue to be
    monitored for the need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.

    Areas affected...parts of eastern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 021323Z - 021600Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorm development, potentially
    supercells capable of producing sizable hail, appears possible as
    early as 9-11 AM. It is not certain a severe weather watch will be
    needed, but trends are being monitored for this possibility.

    DISCUSSION...Low-level moisture return is ongoing on southerly
    low-level flow across much of the southern Great Plains. This
    includes areas as far north as southeastern Oklahoma, above a
    shallow near-surface stable layer, to the cool side of a surface
    frontal zone. Based on forecast soundings (and the 12Z sounding
    from Norman), this may be contributing to CAPE on the order of
    1000-2000 J/kg, beneath steep mid-level lapse rates associated with
    a plume of elevated mixed-layer air.

    Despite inhibition associated with the elevated mixed layer,
    deepening convective development is already evident in satellite
    imagery near and west through north of the McAlester vicinity.=20
    Various model guidance, including the Rapid Refresh and High
    Resolution Ensemble output, suggest that forcing for ascent, likely
    driven by lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection beneath difluent
    upper flow, may support the initiation of increasing thunderstorm
    development as early as 15-17Z.

    With forecast hodographs within the elevated potential inflow layer
    forecast to enlarge somewhat, and become clockwise curved, in the
    presence of strong cloud-bearing layer shear, the environment
    appears conducive to supercells capable of producing large hail.

    Areas affected...Eastern Kansas...Western and Central Missouri

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 140310Z - 140515Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...A severe threat is expected to develop across the
    remainder of eastern Kansas around midnight. The storms are forecast
    to spread east-northeastward into Missouri during the early
    overnight period. Weather watch issuance will likely be needed
    across the region within the next 90 minutes.

    DISCUSSION...The latest water vapor imagery shows an upper-level
    trough over the Desert Southwest, with a mid-level jet in the base
    of the system extending east-northeastward into the southern Plains
    and northern Ozarks. A distinct mid-level vorticity max is located
    over far southwest Kansas. This feature will move across the central
    Plains late this evening. As large-scale ascent increases ahead of
    the vorticity max, scattered strong thunderstorms are expected to
    develop across south-central Kansas, and move east-northeastward
    across eastern Kansas and Missouri. According to the RAP, MLCAPE
    within this area is between 1000 and 1500 J/kg, 0-6 km shear is in
    the 40 to 50 knot range, and 700-500 mb lapse rates are from 7.5 to
    8 C/km. This should support a severe threat overnight, especially
    the stronger cells interact with the low-level jet. Supercells with
    large hail appear likely, and wind damage will also be possible.
