    Mesoscale Discussion 2429
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1155 AM CST Mon Nov 02 2026

    Areas affected...central and northern OK into southeast KS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 021755Z - 021930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Relatively high uncertainty in the near term on whether robust/sustained storm development occurs during the next few hours.
    Trends will be closely monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Midday visible satellite/radar imagery shows a
    confluence band of deepening convection from near Chickasha, OK north-northeastward to near Wichita, KS. Surface temperatures have
    warmed into the lower 70s with mid 60s deg F dewpoints. Convective
    inhibition is gradually eroding but a relatively thick stratus layer
    will likely delay stronger heating/mixing through the early
    afternoon. Current thinking is greater buoyancy will develop west
    of this convective band from southwest OK northwest into
    northwestern OK. Nonetheless, the Wichita, KS WSR-88D VAD shows a
    gradual intensification of the wind profile and 0-1 km shear
    approaching 30 kt. A shallow supercell or two may eventually form
    within this convective band. The risk for severe associated with
    any of these storms remains unclear.
