MD 2302 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR EAST-CENTRAL INDIANA INTO CENTRAL OHIO

Mesoscale Discussion 2302
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0246 PM CDT Wed Sep 16 2026

Areas affected...east-central Indiana into central Ohio

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 161946Z - 162145Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated gusty winds of 45-60 mph will be possible with
stronger thunderstorms developing through early evening. Overall
risk is expected to remain limited, and a severe thunderstorm watch
is not expected.

DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms are developing near the IN/OH
state border this afternoon. This activity is developing ahead of a
stalled front and on the southern periphery of stronger effective
shear located north of this boundary. Stronger heating across
east-central IN into central OH has allowed temperatures to warm
into the 80s to near 90 F amid mid 70s F dewpoints, resulting in
moderate instability. Effective shear magnitudes around 20-30 kt may
allow for some storm organization. However, weak midlevel lapse
rates will limit longevity of any stronger/better organized
updrafts. Nevertheless, steepened low-level lapse rates and high PW
values could support sporadic strong outflow wind gusts. Overall,
the risk is expected to remain limited and mostly sub-severe wind
gusts are anticipated, precluding watch issuance.

MD 2303 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN UTAH

Mesoscale Discussion 2303
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0353 PM CDT Wed Sep 16 2026

Areas affected...portions of northeastern Utah

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 162053Z - 162300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms will bring a
chance for occasional large hail and damaging wind gusts. Watch
issuance is unlikely.

DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery depicts a developing supercell
across portions of central/northeastern Utah. While available
buoyancy remains relatively modest (generally 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE),
strong upper-level flow is contributing to effective shear of 40-50
kts, which will continue to support a supercellular storm mode as
convection evolves eastward through this evening. The primary risk
with this activity will be large hail owing to elongated, relatively
straight hodographs; however, mid-level lapse rates remain somewhat
modest (around 7 C/km), which should temper the overall magnitude of
the large hail threat. Isolated damaging/severe wind gusts are also
possible, especially with any stronger downdrafts and/or evolving
clusters. The overall magnitude and spatial extent of the severe
risk are expected to remain too limited to warrant watch issuance,
however.

The Federal Reserve has set a new target range by increasing its benchmark interest rate, marking its first hike since 2023. President Donald Trump has called for a substantial reduction in interest rates, advocating for lower borrowing costs given the country's robust credit status. However, officials have stated that ongoing inflation remains a significant factor driving this adjustment.
