MD 1122 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHEAST NE AND NORTHEAST KS
Mesoscale Discussion 1122
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0254 AM CDT Sun Jun 02 2024
Areas affected…southeast NE and northeast KS
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch unlikely
Valid 020754Z – 020930Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…20 percent
SUMMARY…Isolated severe hail will be possible through about
sunrise with an arc of elevated thunderstorms across northeast
Kansas to southeast Nebraska.
DISCUSSION…Nearly simultaneous to the decay of an MCS over
southwest KS/northwest OK, a band of elevated convection intensified
across northeast KS/southeast NE. This activity appears to be driven
by low-level warm theta-e advection along the MUCAPE gradient. While
the 06Z HRRR has minimal reflection of this development, the
Hastings and Topeka VWPs indicate moderate low-level
south-southwesterly flow. Moderate upper-level west-northwesterlies
will remain adequate for transient supercell structures and hail
growth. Still, the cluster to loosely linear convective mode should
temper peak hail sizes to the 1-1.5 inches in diameter range.
