Mesoscale Discussion 1023
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1253 PM CDT Wed May 28 2025

   Areas affected...Central High Plains into Western Kansas...the
   Oklahoma Panhandle...and portions of the northern Texas Panhandle

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 281753Z - 282030Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

   SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across much
   of eastern Colorado and move east-southeastward into portions of the
   Central and Southern Plains. Supercells capable of all hazards,
   including tornadoes, will be possible. Watch issuance will likely be
   needed later this afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...Recent satellite trends show deepening cumulus over the
   higher terrain of Colorado, which will eventually develop into
   thunderstorms with continued boundary-layer mixing. Strong
   surface-based buoyancy with 30-40 kts of deep-layer effective bulk
   shear will support maturation into supercells and bowing convective
   segments capable of large hail, damaging winds, and perhaps
   tornadoes. The tornado potential will be greatest this evening
   across portions of far eastern Colorado into western Kansas and
   portions of the Oklahoma Panhandle, where local enhancements from
   the nocturnal low-level jet will increase available environmental
   streamwise vorticity.
