Areas affected…South-central KS and northwest OK
Concerning…Severe Thunderstorm Watch 383…384…
Valid 031014Z – 031115Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 383, 384
continues.
SUMMARY…A swath of 65-80 mph wind gusts is likely ongoing across a
portion of south-central Kansas and should spread into parts of
northwest Oklahoma through mid-morning.
DISCUSSION…A 200-km long QLCS is ongoing across a part of
southwest/south-central KS into far northwest OK. This QLCS has
matured over the past couple hours with a history of measured severe
wind gusts to 74 mph thus far. Strongest velocities have been noted
within the apex of the line that has now shifted south of the US-54
corridor. Time-series of Vance AFB VWP has indicated some weakening
of the south-southwesterly low-level jet, but it is still holding in
the low 40s kts. While this leading wind surge may be tempered in
time as it spreads into a more marginally unstable air mass farther
east in south-central KS, an additional swath may develop along the
trailing flank along the pronounced MLCAPE gradient in northwest OK.
