    Mesoscale Discussion 0737
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0320 PM CDT Sat May 16 2026

    Areas affected...Northern Missouri and southwest Iowa

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 162020Z - 162145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development is becoming more probable along a
    residual outflow boundary in Missouri and along a stalled front in
    Iowa. A watch may be needed by 21-22z.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery reveals a gradual
    increase/deepening of cumulus along a residual outflow boundary in
    northern MO, along a stalled front in IA, and in the open warm
    sector into northeast KS. Farther east, slightly elevated
    convection has shown recent signs of intensification to the cool
    side of the outflow across north central MO. Continued surface
    heating along and south-through-west of these boundaries will
    continue to weaken inhibition (relatively weak MLCIN modifying the
    18z TOP sounding for 90/64 F), and thunderstorm development will
    become more probable. The backed low-level flow to the immediate
    cool side of the boundaries will augment vertical shear and support
    supercells capable of producing very large hail, wind damage, and a
    couple of tornadoes.
