    Mesoscale Discussion 1059
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0220 PM CDT Mon Jul 16 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of eastern OK...southwestern MO...and northern/central AR

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 161920Z - 162145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms may pose a very isolated threat
    for strong to damaging winds through the remainder of the afternoon.
    Watch issuance is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...A pair of MCVs are present across southeastern KS and
    northeastern OK this afternoon per recent visible satellite and
    radar imagery. An outflow boundary associated with prior convection
    from one of these circulations is encouraging renewed thunderstorms
    across far northeastern OK and vicinity as of 1920Z. Although winds
    through the troposphere will remain weak based on RAP mesoanalysis
    and VWPs from area radars, a hot/unstable airmass characterized by
    2000-2500 J/kg of MLCAPE will support strong updraft growth in the
    initial thunderstorm stage. Water-loaded downdrafts may pose a
    strong to damaging wind threat, and a storm just northwest of Little
    Rock, AR showed a brief but clear downburst signature with around 50
    kt inbound velocities less than 500 ft AGL from 1900-1910Z. Any
    thunderstorm in this environment should be capable of producing
    similar strong to severe downburst winds. There may be some
    potential for storms to congeal into one or more very loosely
    organized clusters along the outflow boundary across far
    northeastern OK into southwestern MO and northwestern AR over the
    next few hours. If this were to occur, then perhaps a slightly
    greater wind threat may be realized. Regardless, the lack of
    meaningful shear will very likely keep the severe threat too
    isolated to justify a watch.
