MD 0519 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 133… FOR NORTHERN KANSAS/SOUTHERN NEBRASKA
Mesoscale Discussion 0519
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0935 PM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024
Areas affected…northern Kansas/southern Nebraska
Concerning…Tornado Watch 133…
Valid 260235Z – 260330Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 133 continues.
SUMMARY…Tornado risk has diminished, but hail risk will continue
across portions of the WW area and eastward into central
Nebraska/north-central Kansas. New WW will be proposed.
DISCUSSION…Latest radar shows that storms continue to evolve into
a more clustered mode, and mainly to the north of the surface front
as a low-level jet continues to increase. Resulting warm advection
atop the surface front will continue to support thunderstorm
development/maintenance, given moderate elevated CAPE indicated
across the area. While tornado threat should continue to decrease,
potential for hail in the 1″ to 1.75″ range over the next few hours
supports consideration of severe thunderstorm watch issuance, with
the tornado watch set to expire at 26/03Z.
