    Mesoscale Discussion 1849
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0839 AM CDT Fri Aug 07 2026

    Areas affected...Parts of eastern Kansas into northern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 071339Z - 071515Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...The risk of severe hail will continue for the next couple
    of hours.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are ongoing on the backside of earlier
    convection, aided by a a 35 kt LLJ (sampled by ICT VWP) and related
    low-level warm-air advection. Steep midlevel lapse rates (per the
    OUN 12Z sounding) atop a statically stable boundary layer are
    contributing to sufficient elevated buoyancy for the continuation of
    a few robust cells. This, combined with 40-50 kt of effective shear,
    may continue to support transient organization and a risk of severe
    hail over the next couple of hours. However, current expectations
    are for a gradual weakening of the LLJ, which should limit the
    duration of the severe risk.
