    Mesoscale Discussion 0338
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0310 PM CDT Tue Mar 29 2022

    Areas affected...portions of northwest and north-central OK into
    central KS and far southeast NE

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

    Valid 292010Z - 292215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to develop across central
    Kansas and perhaps northwest or north-central OK by 23z. A watch
    will likely be needed for parts of this area in the next couple of
    hours. Damaging wind gusts and hail are the main hazards expected
    with this activity, though a tornado or two also is possible.

    DISCUSSION...Cumulus continues to increase this afternoon behind the
    surface dryline from the OK/TX Panhandles/western OK into southwest
    KS, indicative of increasing ascent spreading eastward into the
    Plains. A surface low is positioned near Harlan County NE near the
    KS/NE border. A dryline extends south/southwest from the low across
    central KS into western OK. Strong capping is still evident east of
    the dryline in latest mesoanalysis data and in cloud presentation in
    visible satellite. 18z RAOB from OUN also continues to show a stout
    capping inversion around 850-700 mb. However, very steep midlevel
    lapse rates near 9 C/km were noted. Additionally, a modest but
    favorably curved low-level hodographs, becoming elongated above 3km
    was also present.=20

    Southerly low-level flow will continue a warm advection regime ahead
    of the dryline and a broad area of 56-60 F surface dewpoints are in
    place across central/northern OK into south-central/southeast KS
    (diminishing with northward extent). As stronger ascent spreads
    eastward over the next few hours, high-based convection is expected
    to develop near the dryline from northwest OK into central KS.
    Convective coverage will likely increase more quickly across KS as
    the dryline is overtaken by a southeastward-surging cold front over
    western KS as of 1930z, before increasing later this evening further
    south across OK. Initial semi-discrete supercells are possible and
    may produce large hail and damaging gusts. Convection is expected to
    grow upscale rather quickly as the low-level jet strengthens this
    evening, bringing an attendant increase in damaging wind potential
    with eastward extent. While modest boundary-layer moisture will
    result in higher-based convection, low-level shear does support
    rotation and a tornado or two may be possible as well. A watch will
    likely be needed for portions of the MCD area by around 22z.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0338
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0854 AM CDT Sat Mar 25 2023

    Areas affected...Eastern Wisconsin and northern Michigan

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 251354Z - 251800Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy snowfall rates on the order of one to two inches per
    hour are expected to continue across eastern Wisconsin into northern
    Michigan through the early afternoon hours.

    DISCUSSION...Over the past 1-2 hours, multiple surface observations
    from eastern WI and northern lower MI have reported falling snow
    with visibilities at or below 1/4 mile. Given temperatures largely
    in the low 30s and wind speeds between 10-15 knots, blowing snow
    probabilities are sufficiently low to imply that the visibility
    reductions are largely the result of heavy snowfall rates.
    Furthermore, the lowest visibilities have been co-located with a
    persistent organized snow band from eastern WI to the northern
    portions of Lake Michigan, which further implies that heavy snowfall
    is ongoing with rates as high as 1-2 inches per hour.=20

    These observed trends are expected to persist at least through the
    remainder of the morning. Dynamic lift associated with the left-exit
    region of an upper jet, coupled with strong isentropic and
    frontogenetical ascent in the 850-700 mb layer, will reside over the
    region as a compact upper low, currently over north-central IL,
    translates east into the lower Great Lakes region. Organized snow
    bands will remain possible with snowfall rates as high as 2 in/hour
    at times. Locations across northeast lower MI with temperatures
    currently above freezing will likely see a transition from a mixed precipitation type to mainly snow through the late morning as
    low-level saturation/evaporative cooling allows for falling
    temperatures closer to freezing.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0338
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0116 AM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024

    Areas affected...east-central MO...southern IL...southwest IN and
    northwest KY

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

    Valid 020616Z - 020745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms, with an accompanying risk of
    damaging gusts and a couple tornadoes will persist overnight across
    southern Illinois into southwest Indiana and adjacent northwest
    Kentucky. A watch will likely be needed in the next hour.

    DISCUSSION...A robust bowing segment moving into east-central
    Missouri is expected to persist through the overnight hours as it
    shifts east along a warm front. Mesoanalysis indicates little
    low-level inhibition across the region. Surface dewpoints in the mid
    60s are contributing to modest instability (500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE).
    Despite this modest instability, low-level shear ahead of the bowing
    segment has increased considerable tonight. Regional VWP data
    indicates enlarged and favorably curved low-level hodographs. Given
    a more linear storm mode, damaging gusts will likely be the main
    risk with bowing segments overnight. However, given the strong
    vertical shear and veering with height low-level wind profiles, a
    couple of tornadoes associated with mesovortex formation will also
    be possible. A watch will likely be needed within the hour.
