MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1183
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0427 AM CDT THU JUL 07 2016
AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHEAST KS/NORTHERN MO/FAR SOUTHERN IA
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 345...
VALID 070927Z - 071100Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 345
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A FAST-MOVING BOWING LINE OF STORMS WILL PRODUCE
ADDITIONAL SEVERE/DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AS THE STORMS FROM THE APEX
SOUTHWESTWARD CONTINUE TO MAKE A TURN TO THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS
NORTHERN MO AND NORTHEAST KS...WHILE THE NORTHERN PORTION TRACKS
EAST ALONG EITHER SIDE OF THE MO/IA BORDER.
COUNTIES IN THE WAKE OF THIS BOW CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE WATCH WITH
ITS PASSAGE...THOUGH KS COUNTIES WEST OF THE LINE OF STORMS MAY NEED
TO BE MAINTAINED IN WW 345...GIVEN ANY ELEVATED STORMS THAT POSE A
POTENTIAL SEVERE THREAT.
DISCUSSION...AT 0910Z...TRENDS IN RADAR IMAGERY INDICATED THE BOWING
LINE OF STORMS MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL PARTS OF WW 345 HAD
ACCELERATED IN FORWARD SPEED /CLOSE TO 50 KT WITH THE APEX OF THE
LINE/. MEANWHILE...ACCELERATIONS ALSO OCCURRED ALONG THE REST OF
THE LINE OF STORMS...WITH THE SOUTHERN EXTENT IN NORTHEAST KS MOVING
TO THE SOUTHEAST AT 35-40 KT...AND THE NORTHERN PORTION MOVING EAST
AT 40 KT ALONG EITHER SIDE OF THE MO/IA BORDER AREA. THESE CURRENT
SPEEDS SUGGEST THE LINE OF STORMS WILL EXIT MUCH OF THIS WATCH
BETWEEN 11-1130Z. ONGOING AND DOWNSTREAM TRENDS WILL BE MONITORED
FOR NEW WW ISSUANCE.
...MO/NORTHEAST KS...
THE PORTION OF THIS BOWING LINE FROM THE APEX SOUTHWESTWARD BEGAN A
TURN TO THE SOUTHEAST AS THE APEX MOVED THROUGH FAR SOUTHEAST
NEB...WHERE FALL CITY /FNB/ REPORTED A WIND GUST OF 59 KT AT 0813Z.
THIS SOUTHEAST TURN IS EXPECTED TO BE MAINTAINED THROUGH THE REST OF
THE EARLY MORNING...GIVEN A NW-SE ORIENTATION OF A MODERATELY STRONG
INSTABILITY GRADIENT. ADDITIONAL COUNTIES MAY BE ADDED...AS
NEEDED...TO THIS WATCH IN NORTHEAST KS AS THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE
LINE MOVES TOWARD THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF WW 345.
...FAR NORTHERN MO/FAR SOUTHERN IA...
THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE LINE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN A
MORE EASTWARD MOVEMENT AS THIS ACTIVITY TENDS TO DEVELOP EAST ALONG
THE TRAILING W-E ORIENTATION OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...ATTENDANT TO
THE IA/SOUTHERN MN MCS. THE CURRENT EASTWARD SPEED OF THIS LINE AT
40 KT SUGGESTS LOCALLY STRONG TO SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL REMAIN A
THREAT.
