   Mesoscale Discussion 1354
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1255 AM CDT Thu Jul 30 2020

   Areas affected...western and southern Kansas into northern Oklahoma

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 300555Z - 300830Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...Scattered clusters of storms may produce localized strong
   to severe wind gusts over the next few hours, but the disorganized
   nature does not currently warrant a watch.

   DISCUSSION...A strong northerly surge across northwest KS has led to
   a line of storms which is currently moving into central KS. While
   the surface air mass is a bit cool due to earlier convection, the
   air mass remains moist, with pockets of stronger instability across
   the region. The fast-moving nature of these clusters in association
   with a midlevel speed max may allow for isolated strong to severe
   wind gusts despite northerly low-level winds and areas of
   pre-existing outflow.

   To the south, another notable cluster over north-central OK will
   continue east/southeast into northeast OK, producing mainly 40-50
   mph winds. 850 mb winds will continue to veering tonight, suggesting
   threat corridor will remain north of I-40 in OK. If storms over
   southwest KS can grow upscale a bit, perhaps isolated strong gusts
   will be possible into northwest OK later tonight.
