MD 0543 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 145…146… FOR NORTHEAST OK AND SOUTHEAST KS
Mesoscale Discussion 0543
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0154 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024
Areas affected…Northeast OK and southeast KS
Concerning…Tornado Watch 145…146…
Valid 271854Z – 272030Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 145, 146 continues.
SUMMARY…As severe storms in north-central Oklahoma and
south-central Kansas spread east late this afternoon, an additional
tornado watch will likely be needed.
DISCUSSION…The airmass ahead of severe storms in south-central KS
and north-central OK continues to destabilize as surface temps have
warmed in the upper 70s to low 80s across most of eastern OK into
far southeast KS. While low-level shear within this part of the
warm-moist sector is relatively modest per INX VWP data, it will
strengthen based on upstream TLX data. A mix of discrete and
semi-discrete supercells occasionally embedded within clusters
should spread east-northeast through late afternoon. As this occurs,
all severe hazards will be possible, some of which may be
significant.
