    Mesoscale Discussion 2213
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1151 PM CST Wed Nov 19 2025

    Areas affected...Southeast Kansas into northeast
    Oklahoma...southwest Missouri and far northwest Arkansas

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

    Valid 200551Z - 200745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage over
    the next several hours across northeast Oklahoma, southeast Kansas
    and into southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas. While buoyancy
    is fairly limited, strong shear may compensate and support a few
    strong/severe storms.

    DISCUSSION...Latest regional radar mosaics show an uptick in
    convection across the KS/OK/MO/AR region over the past hour. This
    comes as isentropic ascent within a diffuse warm frontal zone
    increases in tandem with a strengthening of 925-850 mb winds noted
    in upstream VWPs. The warming/moistening in this layer is also
    supporting a northward expansion of MUCAPE, and while buoyancy
    profiles remain fairly marginal per recent forecast soundings, this
    environment has been sufficient for deep convection. Regional VWPs
    and mesoanalyses continue to show 40-50 knot deep-layer wind shear
    across the region with favorable hodographs for splitting
    supercells. The expectation is for transient supercells to emerge
    and periodically pose a threat for large hail (most likely between 1
    to 1.75 inches in diameter). Storm interactions and motions along
    the frontal zone should promote upscale growth into clusters, which
    should limit the coverage/longevity of the hail threat. As such,
    watch issuance is not expected.
