    Mesoscale Discussion 1122

    Areas affected...far southeastern Nebraska...northeastern
    Kansas...northwestern Missouri

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20

    Valid 131849Z - 132045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Supercell potential to increase through the afternoon.
    Large hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...Cumulus is deepening along a residual outflow boundary
    extending southwest to northeast across northeastern Kansas. The 18z
    RAOB from TOP (Topeka, KS) indicates inhibition has eroded. SPC
    mesoanalysis data has indicated that instability is nudging
    northward into eastern Kansas. This is confirmed in the 18z
    sounding, with MLCAPE sampled around 2500 J/kg. Deep layer shear is
    around 40-50 kts. Though deep layer shear is fairly weak, presence
    of the outflow boundary may locally enhance surface vorticity in the
    short term. Initial mode will likely be supercelluar, with potential
    for large hail, damaging wind, and perhaps a tornado where mesoscale
    features align.

    Additional development is expected to the west along the cold front
    this afternoon. Development along the front will likely be
    suprecellular initially, posing a threat for large hail, damaging
    wind, and a couple of tornadoes. This activity will grow upscale
    with a damaging wind threat spreading eastward through the evening.
