Mesoscale Discussion 0129
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0520 PM CST Mon Feb 24 2020

   Areas affected...southwestern Kansas and portions of the
   Oklahoma/northern Texas Panhandle

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 242320Z - 250015Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...A line of shallow convection was producing 40-45 knot wind
   gusts across southwestern Kansas over the past half hour.  These
   gusts - though mostly sub-severe, may continue through sunset.

   DISCUSSION...Strong forcing for ascent/cooling associated with a
   vigorous wave over Colorado was aiding in forced, shallow convection
   along a band located from near GCK southwestward to EHA.  A few
   lightning strikes have been noted with this activity, suggesting
   that updrafts/downdrafts are strong enough to encourage occasional
   gusty winds despite negligible buoyancy indicated in point forecast
   soundings/mesoanalysis.  Given continued sunshine/heating out ahead
   of the convective band and continued southeastward progression of
   the wave, it is possible that occasional sub-severe wind gusts will
   continue through sunset.
