MD 0455 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH POSSIBLE FOR EASTERN KS
Mesoscale Discussion 0455
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0418 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024
Areas affected…Eastern KS
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch possible
Valid 160918Z – 161015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…60 percent
SUMMARY…A couple severe storms may develop across eastern KS
through sunrise with all hazards possible.
DISCUSSION…A swath of initially elevated convection has persisted
across eastern KS. One cell over southwest Greenwood county appears
to have finally acquired supercell character over the past 30
minutes and may mark the transition to a realized severe threat into
sunrise. Additional candidate storms to its west and northwest will
have potential as well to become supercells or at least organized
clusters as convection advances northeast this morning. The overall
threat should remain spatially isolated. The tornado threat will be
limited towards the MO border given less-quality boundary-layer
moisture with eastern extent.
