MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1007
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0351 PM CDT SAT JUN 13 2015

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF SRN/CNTRL MO AND NRN AR

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY 

VALID 132051Z - 132215Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A FEW STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS MAY POSE A THREAT
FOR AN ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUST OR TWO. WW ISSUANCE IS NOT
ANTICIPATED.

DISCUSSION...CONVECTION HAS CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE THIS
AFTERNOON OVER PORTIONS OF MO/NRN AR...LIKELY DUE TO THE GLANCING
INFLUENCE OF AN IMPULSE TO THE NW...AS WELL AS A POTENTIAL MCV
LIFTING NE FROM OK. MLCAPE AROUND 1000-1500 J/KG HAS
MATERIALIZED...RESULTING FROM AMPLE HEATING AND LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
/MEAN MIXING RATIOS AROUND 14-15 G PER KG/. HOWEVER...RELATIVELY
MEAGER MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND MODEST/UNI-DIRECTIONAL MID-LEVEL
FLOW /DEPICTED BY THE KSGF VWP/ WILL LIKELY FURTHER THE TREND OF
OUTFLOW-DOMINANT STORMS...LIMITING THE OVERALL SEVERE THREAT. WHILE
FLOW INCREASES SOME FARTHER NORTH...CONVECTIVE OVERTURNING MAY
PRECLUDE A GREATER THREAT ACROSS THIS PORTION OF THE MCD AREA.
THEREFORE...WW ISSUANCE IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
NONETHELESS...CONSIDERING THE MOIST ENVIRONMENT AND POTENTIAL FOR
STORM MERGERS/COLD POOL ORGANIZATION...ISOLATED STRONG WIND GUSTS
ARE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.
