Mesoscale Discussion 1304
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0236 PM CDT Tue Jul 21 2020
Areas affected...east-central IN into west-central OH
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 391...
Valid 211936Z - 212030Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 391
continues.
SUMMARY...Strong gusts may continue into parts of east-central IN
and west-central OH this afternoon. However, the severe threat
should diminish with eastward extent and a downstream watch is not
currently expected.
DISCUSSION...The bow echo that moved across central IN early this
afternoon has been showing signs of weakening recently. The
downstream airmass is slightly less favorable for maintenance of
severe convection, with some weakness in midlevel lapse rates and
instability noted in 19z mesoanalysis. Additionally, effective shear
wanes across OH, further reducing chances for sustained, organized
updrafts. Radar reflectivity trends have diminished on 5 and 7 km
CAPPI and velocity signatures are not nearly as strong. KGUS
recorded a 50 kt gust within the past 30 minutes, and 40-50 kt gusts
over the next hour seem reasonable as the gradual weakening trend
continues.
