    MD 1697 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF
    NORTHERN KANSAS AND ADJACENT SOUTHERN NEBRASKA
    Mesoscale Discussion 1697 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0146 AM CDT Sun Aug 11 2019
    Areas affected...Parts of northern Kansas and adjacent southern
    Nebraska
    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
    Valid 110646Z - 110845Z
    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
    SUMMARY...Barring substantive further strengthening of ongoing
    thunderstorm activity, a watch may not be issued. But convection may
    continue to pose a risk for at least occasional gusts approaching
    or briefly exceeding severe limits, in addition to heavy rainfall,
    along the Interstate 70 corridor of north central into northeast
    Kansas, through 3-5 AM CDT.
    DISCUSSION...A substantive surface cold pool appears to have
    developed in association with the evolving convective system, with 8
    mb 2-hour surface pressure rises observed at Hill City at 06Z (along
    with 44 kt peak gusts). Convection is embedded with an environment characterized by large CAPE and weak to modest deep-layer shear
    (largely due to veering of winds with height). Activity seems
    likely to maintain intensity at least another couple of hours,
    into the 08-10Z time frame, largely supported by forcing for ascent
    associated with low-level warm advection and enhanced convergence,
    on the nose of a 30-40 kt kt nocturnal low-level jet.
    A continued gradual veering of this low-level jet from southerly to southwesterly during the next few hours is expected to support the
    eastward development of ongoing activity near/north of the Interstate
    70 corridor of north central into northeast Kansas. Relatively warm
    mid-levels and modest to weak (up to 20 kt westerly deep-layer mean
    ambient wind fields) are potentially limiting factors to severe
    weather potential. However, it is possible that a sufficiently
    strong surface cold pool and rear inflow may be maintained to
    support a continuing risk for strong wind gusts approaching or
    briefly exceeding severe wind gusts, until convection weakens as
    low-level jet forcing diminishes toward daybreak.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
    CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...
    ...SUMMARY... Areas of strong to severe storms are expected
    over portions of the northern through central High Plains Sunday
    afternoon into Sunday night. Large hail and severe gusts are the
    primary threats.
    ...High Plains...
    Early-morning water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined mid-level
    short-wave trough over the Pacific northwest, shifting east in line
    with short-range model guidance. This feature is forecast to shift
    into western MT/ID by 12/00z which will result in roughly 30m 12hr
    500mb height falls across the northern High Plains of MT/WY. In
    response to the short wave, low-level flow should remain decidedly
    easterly as a surface low develops over north-central WY. With
    seasonally high-PW values expected to hold across this region,
    instability should be more than adequate for robust updrafts. Latest
    guidance suggests strongest boundary-layer heating will be noted
    across ID/southern MT/western WY and forecast soundings depict
    uncapped soundings by 19-20z over the higher terrain. Latest thinking
    is discrete supercells should evolve over southwestern MT by early
    afternoon. This activity should then spread/develop east toward
    the High Plains where low-level moisture will be more conducive for
    higher buoyancy and perhaps a tornado threat. Otherwise, damaging
    winds and hail are expected with storms as they spread toward the
    western Dakotas.
    Farther south, low-latitude disturbance is gyrating north along the
    AZ/NM border around the west side of an upper ridge. This feature
    should translate into south-central CO late Sunday afternoon with a
    corridor of stronger mid-level flow forecast to extend downstream
    into the central High Plains. Large-scale forcing ahead of this
    feature should encourage convective development across the higher
    terrain early in the period. It appears robust thunderstorms will
    evolve along the Front Range of CO into southeast WY by 20-21z then spread/develop east. This activity will propagate along cool side of
    a pronounced surface boundary that should drape itself along the I-70
    corridor across northeast CO/KS. Forecast soundings favor supercells,
    and early activity should prove discrete. However, upward-evolving
    complex of storms is expected and an organized squall line along
    the leading edge of an MCS should advance east as LLJ focuses into south-central NE late. Damaging winds are possible if this activity
    evolves as expected. Otherwise, hail and perhaps a tornado may be
    noted with early supercells.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM A PORTION
    OF THE MIDDLE AND UPPER MS VALLEY INTO THE OHIO VALLEY REGIONS...
    ...SUMMARY... Severe storms will be possible on Monday, mainly
    from a portion of the Middle and upper Mississippi Valley to the
    Ohio Valley.
    ...Synopsis...
    Northern-stream upper trough will deamplify as it moves through
    the northern Plains and upper MS Valley region Monday. The trough
    will be accompanied by a cold front that should extend from central
    ND southward through western NE by Monday evening. Farther south a low-amplitude, convectively enhanced shortwave trough will move from
    the NE/IA area into the southern Great Lakes and OH Valley during the
    evening into the overnight. At the start of the period, a cold front
    will extend from a surface low in southeast NE into western KS. A quasi-stationary front will extend eastward from the low through
    southern IA then southeast as a warm front toward the TN Valley.
    ...Middle Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley regions...
    Storms should be ongoing from eastern NE into IA in association with
    the progressive, low-amplitude shortwave trough and will continue
    east within zone of isentropic ascent north of the front and on nose
    of an eastward-migrating low-level jet. Additional storms may be
    ongoing farther southeast from northern MO into IL in vicinity of
    the warm front. Current expectation is that much of this activity
    will probably diminish as it spreads eastward toward the OH Valley.
    These storms may reinforce the stationary/warm front or may result
    in an effective boundary being farther south than the synoptic
    fronts. The warm sector is expected to become moderately to strongly
    unstable supported by surface dewpoints in the 70s F and diabatic
    warming of the boundary layer. Eastward destabilization toward the
    OH Valley will occur during the evening. Storms are expected to
    redevelop in vicinity of the effective boundaries from the middle
    MS Valley and toward the OH Valley. This region will reside within
    belt of stronger winds aloft with 40-55 kt effective bulk shear
    supportive of organized storms including supercells. Storms may
    eventually evolve into an MCS as they develop eastward through the
    OH Valley during the evening. All severe threats will be possible,
    but primary threat will probably transition to damaging wind as
    activity grows upscale. An upgrade to higher probabilities may
    ultimately be needed for a portion of this region. However, ongoing uncertainties regarding mesoscale details related to evolution of
    the morning convection precludes further refinement for this update. ...Northern Plains region...
    The atmosphere may become at least marginally unstable east of a cold
    front across the eastern Dakotas and into eastern NE where a belt of
    stronger winds within base of the northern-stream shortwave trough
    will reside. A few storms may redevelop in this region during the
    afternoon, posing some risk for hail or locally strong wind gusts.
    ...Maine...
    A few storms may develop along pre-frontal trough during the
    afternoon where modest low-level moisture and mid-level lapse
    rates will support marginal instability. This region will reside
    within belt of stronger winds aloft within base of an amplifying
    upper trough supporting 35-40 kt effective shear. A few storms may
    produce locally strong wind gusts and small to marginally severe
    hail, but overall threat should remain limited by the expected weak thermodynamic environment.
    ...MAXIMUM RISK BY HAZARD... Tornado: 5% - Slight Wind:
    15% - Slight Hail: 15% - Slight

    Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1230 AM CDT Sun Aug 11 2019
    Valid 111200Z - 121200Z
    ...Synopsis... Fire weather conditions will gradually improve
    compared to prior days. A longwave trough initially over Oregon
    will continue to weaken and lift northeastward toward the northern
    Rockies. As this occurs, a mid-level jet streak on the periphery of
    the trough will migrate toward Idaho/Wyoming through peak heating
    hours. Meanwhile, the widespread thunderstorms observed over Washington/Oregon/northern California and vicinity will diminish
    significantly as the region comes under the influence of mid/upper
    subsidence behind the trough.
    ...Eastern Idaho and western/central Wyoming... Vertical mixing
    processes beneath the approaching mid-level jet streak will result
    in areas of 15-25 mph surface winds during peak heating hours
    - strongest over the Snake River Valley of Idaho and also into southwestern/central Wyoming. RH values will only fall to critical
    thresholds on a localized basis and will be lowest in central Wyoming
    (15-30% elsewhere). The atmospheric conditions are most consistent
    with elevated fire weather thresholds, and the ongoing delineation
    remains in place for this outlook given the existence of dry fuels
    across the region.

    1230 AM CDT Sun Aug 11 2019
    Valid 121200Z - 131200Z
    ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
    ...Synopsis... The northern Rockies mid-level trough responsible for heightened fire weather concerns the past few days will continue
    to weaken and lift northeastward toward the Plains/southern
    Canadian provinces. In the wake of this system, zonal mid-level
    flow will extend across the northern tier of the CONUS along with
    weaker mid-level flow compared to recent days. This pattern will
    translate to weaker low-level flow across dry areas of the West.
    Outside of locally elevated fire weather conditions across Wyoming
    and vicinity, the overall pattern will be quiet and no highlights
    are needed for this outlook.
