    Mesoscale Discussion 2028
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0229 PM CST Wed Dec 15 2021

    Areas affected...Much of eastern Kansas and adjacent northeastern
    Oklahoma into western Missouri

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

    Valid 152029Z - 152230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...A narrow line of intensifying showers and thunderstorms
    may gradually evolve and overspread the region through 4-6 PM CST,
    accompanied by the risk for potentially damaging wind gusts.

    DISCUSSION...Strong mid/upper forcing for ascent associated with the
    intense, cyclonically curved jet streak (in the 500-250 mb layer) is
    passing to the north of the region, as the speed maximum propagates
    across the central Great Plains toward the middle Missouri Valley.=20
    However, convection is deepening beneath the dry, subsident upper
    regime to the south of the jet, along a modest lead surface cold
    front as it gradually overtakes the dryline across central Kansas.=20
    This appears to be occurring just ahead of the leading edge of
    stronger cooling around the 700 mb level, which is forecast to
    approach the St. Joseph MO, Kansas City MO, Chanute KS, Ponca City
    OK areas by around 16/00Z.

    Aided by some further destabilization of a seasonably moist boundary
    layer ahead of the front, the developing narrow line of convection
    may continue to intensify and become capable of producing lightning.
    It is possible that this may tend to be undercut by the leading
    edge of surface cooling, but steepening low-level lapse rates
    (beneath the cooling just above the boundary-layer) will aid the
    downward transport of higher momentum to the surface, in an
    environmental flow regime characterized by 50-70+ kt southwesterly
    mean wind speeds in the lowest 5-6 km AGL.
