    Mesoscale Discussion 0905
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0310 PM CDT Sat May 30 2026

    Areas affected...Southeast KS...southwest MO...northern/central
    AR...and far northeast OK

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 302010Z - 302215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated severe hail and locally damaging gusts will be
    possible with the stronger storms that evolve through the afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are gradually increasing in coverage and
    intensity ahead of remnant outflow in southeast KS/southwest MO and
    within a zone of broadly confluent low-level flow extending
    southward into central AR. While large-scale forcing for ascent is
    weak, a moist and uncapped air mass (lower 70s dewpoints) will
    continue to promote widely spaced thunderstorms through this
    corridor for the remainder of the afternoon. While the severe risk
    is expected to remain somewhat unfocused, a strongly unstable air
    mass and 30-40 kt of effective shear will favor a few organized
    clusters and perhaps supercell structures. Isolated severe hail and
    locally damaging gusts are possible with the stronger/loner-lived
    cells. A watch is not currently expected, though convective trends
    are being monitored.
