   Mesoscale Discussion 1278

   Areas affected...parts of western Nebraska...northeast
   Colorado...and northwest Kansas

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 140102Z - 140200Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

   SUMMARY...Clusters of storms may produce a threat for severe gusts
   and perhaps some large hail. A watch downstream of WW412 may be
   needed.

   DISCUSSION...Convection is ongoing across parts of western Nebraska,
   which has produced occasional severe/damaging gusts and large hail.
   Ahead of the convection, surface mixing ratios are near 15 g/kg per
   mesoanalysis, and short-term model guidance suggests a seasonably
   modest nocturnal low-level jet ought to reinforce convection despite
   the loss of daytime heating. Wave clouds in visible satellite
   suggests some lingering surface stability across parts of central
   Nebraska. However, based on the 21Z LBF RAOB with 7-8 C/km low-level
   lapse rates, this can easily be overcome by a well-developed cold
   pool. These suggest that damaging winds will be the primary threat
   with these storms. With the more isolated cells, some large hail is
   possible, though storms are expected to continue to cluster with
   time, so this may limit the longevity of the hail threat.
   Additionally, the duration of the severe threat in the northern part
   of this region is uncertain, with convection approaching stable air
   north of a stationary boundary.
