The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 365
continues.
SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat will be possible over the next
couple of hours across parts of central and northeastern Kansas.
Wind damage will be the primary severe weather hazard.
DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a large area of
thunderstorms extending from near the Kansas-Oklahoma state line
northward into far southern Nebraska. Numerous multicells are
ongoing in this cluster. This activity has overturned the airmass
across much of central Kansas. A pocket of moderate instability
likely exists a bit further east from near I-35 northeastward to
near Topeka. The RAP is estimating MLCAPE along this corridor in the
2000 to 2500 J/kg range which combined with 0-6 km of 30 kt on the
Topeka WSR-88D VWP should be sufficient for an isolated severe
threat. The instability combined with the moist airmass may result
in a few wet downbursts near severe limits over the next couple of
hours.
