    Mesoscale Discussion 1731

    Areas affected...portions of central North Dakota...South
    Dakota...and Nebraska

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

    Valid 262131Z - 262300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A risk for isolated severe gusts/hail exists this
    afternoon with the stronger storms that can sustain themselves. A WW
    issuance is not currently anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Strong boundary-layer heating and broad surface lee
    troughing is supporting the development of isolated, high-based
    supercells across the northern Plains. 100 F surface temperatures
    amid low 50s-60s F dewpoints (40-50 F T/Td spreads) preceding the
    supercells are contributing to 9+ C/km boundary-layer lapse rates.
    While 7-8 C/km mid-level lapse rates and 40+ kts of effective bulk
    shear (driven by elongated hodographs) suggest that mid-level
    updraft rotation and hail potential exists, the deep and hot
    boundary layer may promote sufficient melting of hail as well as
    evaporation of rain to support a severe gust threat through the
    remainder of the afternoon. Given the isolated nature of the storms
    and their severe threat, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance is not
    currently expected.
