MD 0376 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 76… FOR NORTHERN OKLAHOMA…SOUTHEAST KANSAS…AND FAR WESTERN MISSOURI
Mesoscale Discussion 0376 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0749 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2019 Areas affected...Northern Oklahoma...southeast Kansas...and far western MIssouri Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76... Valid 180049Z - 180215Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76 continues. SUMMARY...Continued upscale growth of ongoing convection will lead to additional severe weather into the overnight hours. The best chance for damaging winds will be along the Kansas/Oklahoma border. DISCUSSION...Earlier convection has now grown into a convective complex in northwestern Oklahoma extending into south central Kansas. The Oklahoma mesonet shows evidence of a developing cold pool with upper 50 temperatures across much of northwest Oklahoma. This cold pool is expected to surge eastward through the evening and will likely produce a bowing area of damaging winds somewhere along the Kansas/Oklahoma border. The higher wind damage threat is expected to start to organize somewhere near Ponca City and extend east northeastward along and just south of the location of the front. Outside of this area, convection along the front in east central Kansas and convection extending southward from the expected bowing segment will be capable of producing large hail and damaging winds through the evening and into the early overnight. Storms are expected to stay mostly north of I-40 in Oklahoma, but additional storm development on the southern edge of this line could necessitate the addition of a watch for a few more counties south of severe thunderstorm watch 76. ..Bentley/Hart.. 04/18/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
