Areas affected...Eastern Kansas and western Missouri
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 502...
Valid 220110Z - 220245Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 502
continues.
SUMMARY...An isolated severe wind risk persists across remaining
portions of WW 502. A new WW is being considered downstream of WW
502 - particularly for portions of southeastern Kansas and
southwestern Missouri.
DISCUSSION...A line of storms continues to propagate eastward across
portions of WW 502 - generally along a line from near LWD to MKC to
CNU. Most of the line has been sub-severe over the past hour or so,
although a 59 mph wind gust was reported in Burbank, OK recently -
and that storm should propagate into southern portions of WW 502
with time. This isolated severe wind risk - most concentrated in
southeastern Kansas and vicinity - will eventually reach the eastern
extent of the the watch over the next 1-1.5 hours. A new severe
thunderstorm watch is being considered as ongoing convection - aided
by 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE and an increasing low-level jet across the
region - approaches southwestern Missouri.
