00z DTX...loaded gun

Edit: My bad, didn't refresh and therefore didn't see that M4D posted it before me.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1298

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0753 PM CDT THU JUN 28 2012

AREAS AFFECTED...SERN LOWER MI...NRN OH...FAR NWRN PA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 290053Z - 290230Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT

SUMMARY...PORTIONS OF SERN LOWER MI...NRN OH...AND FAR NWRN PA ARE

BEING MONITORED FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND A POSSIBLE

SVR THREAT. A WW MAY BE NEEDED LATER THIS EVENING.

DISCUSSION...RECENT RADAR/VISIBLE SATELLITE TRENDS SUGGEST ISOLATED

CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SERN LOWER MI -- WITHIN A RELATIVE

MINIMUM OF CONVECTIVE INHIBITION INVOF A COLD FRONT THAT EXTENDS SW

OF A TRIPLE POINT LOCATED 35 MILES SSE OF BAD AXE MI. ADDITIONAL

CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR LEADING THE COLD

FRONT INTO SWRN ONTARIO DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...AIDED BY

INCREASING ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH MASS CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE EXIT

REGION OF A STRENGTHENING PRE-FRONTAL 850-700-MB SPEED MAX. WITH

GENERALLY 2000-3500 J/KG OF MLCAPE IN PLACE -- PROVIDED STEEP

MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ATOP RICH BOUNDARY-LAYER MOISTURE -- AMIDST

40-50 KT OF WNWLY MID-LEVEL FLOW PER DETROIT AND CLEVELAND VWP

DATA...ROBUST UPDRAFTS MAY ENSUE. HOWEVER...THERE IS SOME QUESTION

AS TO WHETHER SUBSTANTIAL STORM COVERAGE WILL OCCUR OWING TO NOTABLE

CINH WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR -- CHARACTERIZED BY 700-MB TEMPS IN

EXCESS OF 15C -- WITH CINH REINFORCED BY NOCTURNAL COOLING.

GIVEN THE AFOREMENTIONED MAGNITUDE OF INSTABILITY AND MODERATE

VERTICAL SHEAR...AND GIVEN THE GLANCING INFLUENCE OF A SHORTWAVE

TROUGH CROSSING THE GREAT LAKES AREA...AT LEAST SOME POTENTIAL

EXISTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ORGANIZED/SEVERE CONVECTIVE

SYSTEM...MORE LIKELY AFTER 03Z. SHOULD THIS THREAT APPEAR TO

INCREASE...A WW MAY BE NEEDED.

A little wind to go along with the hail on that lead cell.

Day 1 slight along the E-W frontal boundary from the NE/IA border to OH.

don't see this too often in an outlook, written by Roger Edwards.

...NRN PLAINS AND MID MO VALLEY TO OH...

A FEW CLUSTERS OF STG-SVR TSTMS MAY DEVELOP DURING AFTERNOON AND

OVERNIGHT IN THIS CORRIDOR...TAKING ADVANTAGE OF STEEP LOW-MIDDLE

LEVEL LAPSE RATES...NEAR-FRONTAL LIFT...AND SUFFICIENT DEEP-LAYER

SHEAR FOR SVR HAIL/WIND RISK. WHILE FOCI FOR INITIATION APPEAR

RATHER VAGUE WITHIN THIS CORRIDOR...PRIND MOST PROBABLE AREA FOR

RELATIVELY CONCENTRATED SVR THREAT IS THAT PORTION OF FRONTAL ZONE

OVER WHICH LARGE-SCALE ASCENT WITH AFOREMENTIONED MID-UPPER

PERTURBATIONS WILL PASS...JUXTAPOSED WITH RICH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE

AND LARGE BUOYANCY. THIS APPEARS MOST PROBABLE FROM IA/NEB BORDER

REGION ESEWD TO OH...WHERE PLUME OF RELATIVELY ENHANCED LOW-MIDDLE

LEVEL MOISTURE AND INTENSE SFC HEATING WILL BOOST MLCAPE INTO

3000-6000 J/KG RANGE...LOCALLY HIGHER. WITH MORE CONFIDENCE IN

INITIATION ACROSS IA/NRN IL...SIGNIFICANT-HAIL AREA AND/OR MESOSCALE

CORRIDOR OF GREATER UNCONDITIONAL PROBABILITIES MAY BE

NEEDED...GIVEN FCST OF EXTREME INSTABILITY AND AT LEAST MRGL

DEEP-LAYER SHEAR.

Watching the lake/cold front interactions starting around 19-20z yesterday was awesome...the way the lake provided just enough help to get a few monster cells to go up and thrive only to get pummeled back to death by mid level warmth once straying too far was awesome...great learning experience for me.

Anyways...I half expected a dying MCS somewhere in the vicinity of cyclone territory this morning and activity back into the plains doesn't look all that organized. One thing you can see is the boundary lifting back northward and I think we'll definitely see a couple rounds of action across the immediate region.

FWIW, 6z NMM develops an afternoon/early evening MCS from northern/northeast IL that goes through northern parts of IN (clips LAF)...all the way east through central OH.

I definitely think that will be the favored track if anything is to get going that early...possibly even a little further south.

Storm train also looks to run over some pretty intense drought conditions...could see widespread relief between 74 and 80.

Hope so. Definitely loads of fuel out there, should be entertaining for somebody.

I think mucape was around 6000 over LAF when I woke up this morning on the SPC mesoanalyis.

It also looks like we'll finally see some proper cold pool development and decent track length.

FWIW the HRRR is initializing the ongoing convection in Iowa pretty damn well...should give a decent idea as to downstream growth. RAP is junk.

Cool looking early visible
