Wait — I'm not necessarily against the article but I would like to see more references, or really any reliable references, confirming that the article subject exists in a meaningful and distinct way, separate from SPC mesoscale convective discussions (MCDs).
Other NWS documentation—see pages 10 and 11—refers to this kind of product as a "meso-beta scale MCD", but with a slightly different definition. I know Andrew Lyons is an NWS forecaster but I don't know that his two off-the-cuff tweets are a supportive foundation for an article, given that the topic of MCDs as a whole don't even garner their own article.
I found
this (Subdividing the Mesoscale) from Penn State Universitiy’s meteorology department, which defines what the “meso—gamma” is. I’ll keep looking for any other references. I’ve found a handful of news articles that share the SPC’s meso—gamma/meso—beta mesoscale discussions, but they aren’t calling them “meso—gamma” or “meso—beta”. I’m fairly sure that is the term only meteorologists use for them. The

Delete - SPC MCD's are specialized and technical discussions. These discussions are mainly used by meteorologists and weather enthusiasts to predict and understand weather patterns, and do not usually have a direct and immediate impact on the general public.

Keep looks like more references have been added, and therefore looks like it passes
WP:N guidelines. Looks in better shape since nomination began.
