MD 0225 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 60… FOR SOUTHEAST KS INTO NORTHEAST OK
Mesoscale Discussion 0225 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0350 AM CDT Tue Mar 24 2020 Areas affected...southeast KS into northeast OK Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 60... Valid 240850Z - 241015Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 60 continues. SUMMARY...Isolated hail up to 1 inch will remain possible through the early morning hours across parts of southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma. DISCUSSION...Clusters of strong thunderstorms will continue to shift eastward across southeast KS and northeast OK early this morning. The largest hail reported with these storms has been 0.75 inches in diameter in Sedgwick County KS about an hour ago. A 50 kt south/southwesterly low level jet will continue to spread northeast ahead of the cluster of convection across north-central OK/south-central KS, maintaining warm advection atop a surface warm front. Steep midlevel lapse rates and strong vertical shear in the presence of 500-1000 J/kg MUCAPE is more than adequate for sporadic intense cells capable of near-severe hail. However, storm mode is expected to continue to limit a more substantial hail threat. Severe Thunderstorm Watch 60 will continue across parts of southeast KS and northeast OK, but a downstream watch is not expected at this time. ..Leitman.. 03/24/2020 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
