   Mesoscale Discussion 2157
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0913 PM CDT Mon Oct 21 2024

   Areas affected...Western OK into parts of central/eastern KS

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 220213Z - 220345Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...Isolated strong to locally severe storms may persist
   through late evening.

   DISCUSSION...There has been some recent increase in storm
   coverage/intensity from western OK into central KS this evening,
   possibly in response to strengthening low-level warm advection (as
   inferred from the KVNX and KICT VWPs) to the south/east of a
   mid/upper-level cyclone near the NE/KS border. The window for
   surface-based development is likely limited due to increasing MLCINH
   with time and eastward extent, though a narrow zone of MUCAPE near
   or above 1000 J/kg could support a few stronger elevated storms
   through the late evening, in the presence of favorable deep-layer
   shear. Isolated hail and gusty winds will be possible with the
   strongest storms.
