MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1850
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0516 PM CDT WED JUL 30 2025
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN KANSAS INTO
SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 302216Z - 302345Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...A COUPLE INSTANCES OF LARGE HAIL OR SEVERE GUSTS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS THAT MANAGE TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES.
HOWEVER, THE OVERALL SEVERE THREAT SHOULD REMAIN ISOLATED.
DISCUSSION...MULTIPLE MULTICELLULAR CLUSTERS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG A
DIFFUSE BAROCLINIC BOUNDARY, AMID STRONG BUOYANCY BUT WEAK VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR. THESE STORMS ARE ALREADY DEMONSTRATING OUTFLOW
TENDENCIES, AS NOTED ON REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY AND VISIBLE
SATELLITE. HOWEVER, THIS OUTFLOW CONTINUES TO PROPAGATE SOUTHWARD
WITHIN A HIGHLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS, CHARACTERIZED BY OVER 3000 J/KG
MLCAPE, DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY UPPER 90S/LOW 70S F SURFACE
TEMPERATURES/DEWPOINTS. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT NEW UPDRAFTS WILL
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ON THE LEADING EDGE OF OUTFLOW, WITH A SOUTHWARD
PROPAGATION EXPECTED. GIVEN WEAK SHEAR, PRIMARY CONVECTIVE MODE
SHOULD BE OUTFLOW-DOMINANT PULSE CELLULAR AND MULTICELLULAR STORMS.
AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR INTENSITY, STORMS MAY PRODUCE A COUPLE
INSTANCES OF SEVERE WIND OR HAIL. HOWEVER, THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD
BE ISOLATED AT BEST, AND A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH ISSUANCE IS NOT
CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED.
