Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0802 PM CDT Sat Aug 15 2020
Valid 160100Z - 161200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE CENTRAL
HIGH PLAINS...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN MINNESOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe storms with large hail and damaging wind gusts will
persist into mid evening over northeast Oklahoma as well as eastern
Colorado and possibly later tonight into southwest Kansas. Isolated
severe storms remain possible over northern Minnesota this evening.
...Northeast Oklahoma...
A small cluster of storms that developed over southwest MO along a
cold front should continue to propagate southwest through northeast
OK next 2-3 hours. Primary forcing is strong convergence along the
convective outflow boundary within a strongly unstable environment.
The thermodynamics with steep lapse rates and 4000+ J/kg MLCAPE will
support a threat for large hail and damaging wind gusts. Eventually,
a stabilizing boundary layer and increasing convective inhibition
will contribute to the demise of the storms later this evening.
...Eastern Colorado through southwest Kansas...
Isolated severe storms continue developing over eastern CO within an
environment characterized by moderate to strong instability and
25-35 kt 0-6 km shear. This environment is weakly forced, and it
remains possible that storms might congeal into a small cluster and
develop southeast this evening, but confidence is relatively low.
