   Mesoscale Discussion 0711
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0514 PM CDT Sun May 24 2020

   Areas affected...kansas into southern Nebraska.

   Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely 

   Valid 242214Z - 242345Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...A few severe thunderstorms capable of large hail and
   damaging winds are likely this evening. A weather watch is likely
   needed soon.

   DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are forming across portions of Kansas and
   Nebraska on a stationary/ cold front ahead of diffuse dryline.
   MLCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg is present across the warm sector which
   will support robust updrafts. Mid-level flow is relatively weak, and
   displaced from the main warm sector. However, 25-35 kt of effective
   shear will still support storm organization in a mixed mode of
   supercells and line segments. An outflow boundary from previous
   convection may also serve as a focus for further storm development
   across central Kansas. A weather watch will likely be issued
   shortly.
