    Mesoscale Discussion 1128

    0529 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026

    Areas affected...Northeast Oklahoma...southeast Kansas...southwest Missouri...northwest Arkansas

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

    Valid 132229Z - 140030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated intense storms will be possible through early
    evening. Coverage is uncertain, with increasing confidence of an
    organized severe threat in a few hours.

    DISCUSSION...Latest regional radar loops show an isolated supercell
    has formed in northeast OK. This storm is in vicinity of a remnant
    outflow boundary from active convection over northern AR. To the
    southwest of the boundary, the air mass is very warm/moist and
    extremely unstable with dewpoints in the mid-upper 70s and MLCAPE
    values over 4000 J/kg. Vertical shear is not particularly strong,
    with the INX VAD profile showing 25-35 kt winds through the mid
    levels, but given the high instability and the proximity to the
    outflow boundary, a few rotating updrafts will remain possible
    through the early evening. These early cells will be capable of
    locally damaging winds, large hail, and even perhaps a tornado.=20
    However, coverage of this activity is uncertain.

    By mid evening, the low-level jet is forecast to strengthen which
    may result in intensification. Also, convection over central KS
    will approach from the northwest. For these reason, a watch will
    likely eventually be needed for parts of the discussion area.=20
    Trends will be monitored.
