    Mesoscale Discussion 1691

    Areas affected...Northern Missouri into extreme northeast Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 162149Z - 162315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorm development is expected along a
    stalled boundary, with the potential for isolated strong-severe
    gusts and marginally severe hail. Limited magnitude and duration of
    the threat suggests that a watch is unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm development is underway immediately east
    of Kansas City, with other deepening cumulus along a stalled
    boundary near I-70. Surface temperatures in the low 90s with
    dewpoints in the low-mid 70s have largely eliminated convective
    inhibition and additional thunderstorm development is probable along
    the boundary/convergence zone the next couple of hours. This
    corridor is along the southern fringe of 25-30 kt midlevel flow, and
    deep-layer vertical shear is likewise modest and largely confined to
    the immediate cool side of the boundary. Still, large buoyancy
    (MLCAPE in excess of 3000 J/kg) will support strong updrafts, while precipitation loading and downdraft potential will support the
    potential for isolated strong-severe outflow gusts. The overall
    severe threat is expected to remain marginal given limited storm organization/duration, and a watch appears unlikely.
