    Areas affected...Portions of the central High Plains

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

    Valid 112222Z - 120015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms developing across the
    central High Plains may pose an isolated severe wind and hail risk
    through the early evening hours. This threat should remain fairly localized/limited; watch issuance is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Over the past 1-2 hours, isolated to scattered
    high-based thunderstorms have developing along and west of a lee
    surface trough within a deeply mixed, but marginally buoyant air
    mass. More recently, thunderstorm longevity has been relatively
    short lived (around 30-60 minutes) based on radar and GOES
    IR/cloud-top temperature trends. This is attributable to somewhat
    meager buoyancy profiles on the periphery of deeper/higher-quality
    moisture to the east across the Plains. Dewpoint depressions near 40
    F and low-level lapse rates near 9 C/km also suggest a very deeply
    mixed boundary layer is in place, which will favor rapid
    undercutting outflows given poor low-level storm-relative winds.
    Thunderstorm coverage may remain limited to near/along the surface
    trough axis given increasing MLCIN with eastward extent and
    south/southeasterly storm motions. A few more organized cells are
    possible given 30-40 knots of effective bulk shear, but the general
    expectation for the next few hours is for isolated to scattered
    thunderstorms to primarily pose a severe wind threat given the
    favorable low-level thermodynamics for strong convective outflow.
