    Mesoscale Discussion 1576

    Areas affected...portions of the Mid Mississippi Valley and Midwest

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 061709Z - 061915Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and
    evening. Isolated damaging gusts are possible with the stronger storms/clusters. Widespread storm organization is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...As of 1715 UTC, regional radar and satellite imagery
    showed initial diurnal thunderstorm activity was beginning to
    increase in coverage across portions of the mid MS and lower OH
    Valleys. Area surface observations show strong heating along a weak
    front with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s F across a very
    moist air mass. Modest mid-level lapse rates (6-6.5 C/km) amid the
    warm and moist air mass will support strong buoyancy (MUCAPE ~3000
    J/kg). Continued heating and weak ascent from the front and a subtle
    trough aloft will allow for scattered to numerous thunderstorms this afternoon.=20

    Despite the large buoyancy, deep-layer shear is minimal, with most
    of the region observing less than 20 kt. This strongly suggests a
    pulse multi-cellular storm mode. Some clustering/upscale growth is
    possible with time as individual outflows consolidate. However, this
    appears limited to areas with locally greater storm coverage, and
    broader storm organization appears very unlikely. This will favor
    only sporadic stronger downdraft pulses. Given this and modest lapse
    rates aloft, isolated damaging gusts are possible. Conditions will
    continue to be monitored, but the limited storm/severe coverage
    suggests a WW is unlikely.
