    Mesoscale Discussion 0597
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1250 AM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025

    Areas affected...far southern Kansas...much of northern
    Oklahoma...and small portions of the Texas Panhandle and southwest
    Missouri

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

    Valid 290550Z - 290745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are forecast to increase in coverage along or
    possibly just ahead of the cold front as it pushes south from Kansas
    into Oklahoma and surrounding states. Locally damaging gusts and
    sporadic large hail will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...A cold front currently stretches from the OK Panhandle
    across south-central KS and into northwest MO, with elevated
    convection already forming in the HUT to P28 corridor. South of the
    front, a moist and unstable air mass remains in places with MLCAPE
    to 2000 J/kg.

    Winds aloft will remain nearly parallel to the cold front, and even
    the low-level jet will veer with time. As such, any initial cellular
    activity (producing hail) may tend to merge into an MCS. Such an MCS
    would move eastward with the mean wind, possibly producing damaging
    winds across northern OK and vicinity.
