   Mesoscale Discussion 1710
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0507 PM CDT Fri Jul 18 2025

   Areas affected...Parts of central/eastern Wyoming...far southwest
   South Dakota...Nebraska Panhandle

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 182207Z - 190000Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...Isolated supercells will pose some risk of large hail and
   isolated severe wind gusts. A watch is not anticipated.

   DISCUSSION...Heating of a modestly moist airmass up against the
   terrain with aid from a subtle shortwave trough in the northern
   Great Basin has promoted isolated supercell development from central
   into eastern Wyoming. As storms move eastward late this afternoon,
   they will encounter greater surface moisture, particularly the
   activity in east-central Wyoming. Effective shear of 30-40 kts and
   steep mid-level lapse rates will favor large hail production.
   Isolated severe winds are also possible given the steep low-level
   lapse rates and somewhat dry boundary layer. MLCIN does increase
   into the adjacent Plains. The spatial extent of severe activity will
   likely be limited by this factor.
