Subj : MESO: Mesoscale Discussion 0617 To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri May 03 2024 22:31:47 ACUS11 KWNS 032231 SWOMCD SPC MCD 032231=20 KSZ000-NEZ000-COZ000-040000- Mesoscale Discussion 0617 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0531 PM CDT Fri May 03 2024 Areas affected...Western and central Nebraska/Kansas border Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20 Valid 032231Z - 040000Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Large hail and damaging winds are possible as storms continue south-southeastward near the Kansas/Nebraska border. Though low, a tornado could also occur with stronger, discrete storms. A watch is possible within the next 1-2 hours. DISCUSSION...Surface moisture continues to return into southern Nebraska. Convection in the vicinity of North Platte has deepened over the last 30 minutes as result. With an expected increase in low-level southerly winds over the next few hours, low 50s F dewpoints will likely push into southern Nebraska ahead of the approaching cold front. Convection that can mature will likely be sustained by the low-level jet. Large hail and damaging winds will likely be the primary threats. Surface dewpoint depressions are enough that the tornado threat should remain low. However, low-level hodograph curvature will increase this evening and discrete storms near the theta-e gradient will pose some tornado risk. A watch is possible within the next 1-2 hours. ...Wendt.. 05/03/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6--yzj5RkE1aB_qVI41kA_yRzW9Hcp9OM8mGOHb-ockPv7PgyZcILl34YiqcU3dW6AgJbz_DY= 0tLJLXo6Ms8pzxQaNw$ for graphic product...
