Areas affected...Portions of eastern KS into MO
Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely=20
Valid 171748Z - 172015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...Very large hail and severe/damaging winds will be possible
with thunderstorms that form this afternoon. Severe Thunderstorm
Watch issuance will likely be needed for some portion of this area.
DISCUSSION...A small convective cluster in northeastern OK has
generated an outflow boundary which is slowly moving
northward/eastward across eastern KS into MO on recent visible
satellite imagery. A weak front and convectively reinforced outflow
from thunderstorms across southern IA/northern MO earlier today has
also advanced southward into the same general area. The merging of
these two outflow boundaries will likely support parcels reaching
their LFCs over the next 1-2 hours, as the airmass across eastern KS
into MO is strongly unstable and generally uncapped per latest
mesoanalysis estimates (MLCAPE 3000-4000 J/kg with minimal MLCIN).
Ascent associated with the nose a mid/upper-level northwesterly jet
will also aid robust convective development early this afternoon.
Related 40-50 kt of deep-layer shear will foster updraft
organization, with supercells initially posing a threat for large to
very large hail expected. With time, some clustering of convection
may also occur, with a greater severe/damaging wind threat spreading southeastward with time. While details regarding convective
evolution remain somewhat uncertain, the increasing severe hail/wind
potential this afternoon will likely justify issuance of a Severe
Thunderstorm Watch.
