MD 0450 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR EASTERN NEBRASKA AMD ADJACENT PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI VALLEY
Mesoscale Discussion 0450 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0907 PM CDT Mon Apr 15 2024 Areas affected...eastern Nebraska amd adjacent portions of the Missouri Valley Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 160207Z - 160430Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...An increase in generally weak thunderstorm activity is ongoing. While there is some uncertainty, the risk for severe weather still appears limited until late tonight. DISCUSSION...Downstream of a significant mid-level trough emerging from the Southwest, a developing area of mid-level warm advection is becoming focused across the northeastern Kansas/eastern Nebraska vicinity of the middle Missouri Valley. Based on radar, and the 16/00Z sounding from Topeka, associated lift and moistening are contributing to destabilization supportive of an ongoing increase in convective development, which is rooted above the inversion associated with a prominent elevated mixed-layer. Below the capping inversion, boundary-layer moistening, within a corridor to the west of the Missouri River, has contributed to mixed-layer CAPE in excess of 2000 J/kg. And, in the presence of sizable clockwise-curved low-level hodographs and strong deep-layer shear, the environment has become conditionally favorable for boundary-layer based supercells. However, until the leading edge of mid-level cooling approaching from the southwest begins to overspread the region later tonight, the boundary-layer instability and stronger convective potential may remain unrealized. ..Kerr/Thompson.. 04/16/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 111 SEVERE TSTM NE SD WY 152040Z - 160400Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 111 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 240 PM MDT Mon Apr 15 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Northwest Nebraska Western and Southern South Dakota Northeast Wyoming * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 240 PM until 1000 PM MDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms will develop late this afternoon through the evening from near the Black Hills east-southeastward into portions of the northern Nebraska and southern South Dakota. The stronger updrafts that develop will probably evolve into supercells. Large hail and severe gusts will be the primary severe hazards with the stronger storms through the mid to late evening. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70 statute miles north and south of a line from 65 miles west of Rapid City SD to 40 miles southeast of Pierre SD. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU1). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings.

MD 0448 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY FOR PARTS OF WESTERN/CENTRAL KANSAS INTO SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA
Mesoscale Discussion 0448 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0713 PM CDT Mon Apr 15 2024 Areas affected...parts of western/central Kansas into south central Nebraska Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 160013Z - 160245Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Rapid thunderstorm development and intensification appears probable at some point this evening, most likely by 10 PM-Midnight, but perhaps an hour or two earlier. Once storms form, a few supercells are likely posing a risk for large hail and tornadoes, a couple of which could become strong. Trends are closely being monitored for a watch issuance, which seems likely at some point, though timing remains a bit unclear. DISCUSSION...A significant mid-level trough and embedded low are in the process of overspreading the the southern Rockies, with the leading edge of stronger mid-level height falls beginning to impact the high plains from the Texas Panhandle through the Black Hills vicinity. As intensifying southwesterly mid-level flow (in excess of 90 kt around 500 mb) noses across the Texas Panhandle vicinity through 02-04Z, strengthening mid/upper forcing for ascent likely will increasingly interact with a retreating dryline across western Kansas. As boundary-layer moisture, characterized by dew points increasing as high as the lower/mid 60s, advects westward beneath steepening lapse rates aided by cooling aloft, forecast soundings suggest mixed-layer CAPE may increase in excess of 2000 J/kg within at least a narrow corridor. By mid to late evening, it appears that this will roughly become focused along an axis from near Dodge City KS into areas west of Kearney NE. Some increase in high based convective development is already evident to the west of the dryline across the Texas Panhandle into western Kansas. While guidance has generally been suggestive that more substantive convective development and thunderstorm initiation may not commence until closer to the 03-05Z time frame, it is not certain that this will not occur sooner. Of primary concern, once storms initiate, intensification may be rapid and include at least one or two supercells with potential to produce strong tornadoes, as boundary-layer moistening and destabilization coincide with enlarging clockwise-curved hodographs beneath southerly 850 mb flow strengthening in excess of 50 kt. ..Kerr/Thompson.. 04/16/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
