Areas affected…northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas
Concerning…Severe Thunderstorm Watch 30…
Valid 080037Z – 080200Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 30
continues.
SUMMARY…Severe threat continues within WW30. Isolated tornado
potential near the OK/KS border.
DISCUSSION…Storm activity is ongoing across northern Oklahoma into
southern Kansas along an eastward advancing dry line and warm front
draped across southern Kansas. Two supercells located along surface
warm front have shown better organization as they move eastward into
dew points in the upper 50s. A narrow corridor near the warm front
may support risk of an isolated tornado before storms cross to the
cool side of the boundary, given enhanced vorticity along the front.
Further west along the dry line, storms will likely cluster and
attempt to grow up scale as the cold front moves east eventually
overtaking the dry line. The main threats will likely be wind and
hail with the linear storm modes.
