Mesoscale Discussion 0379
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0952 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2019
Areas affected...Northern Oklahoma and southeast Kansas
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76...
Valid 180252Z - 180415Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76
continues.
SUMMARY...The large hail and damaging wind threat continues across
severe thunderstorm watch 76. The area with the greatest threat for
damaging winds will be in northeast Oklahoma and southeast Kansas.
Local watch extensions or a downstream watch may be needed.
DISCUSSION...Storms continue across two areas within severe
thunderstorm watch 76. The storms along the stationary front
continue to be primarily hail producers while the line of storms
along I-35 in Oklahoma have formed into a bowing segment with
primarily a damaging wind threat. Expect the primary threat to be
the bowing line of storms. Recently the Blackwell, OK mesonet site
reported a wind gust of 62 mph. As this line continues to mature,
expect wind speeds to continue to increase with the possibility for
some winds in excess of 70 mph. Expect this line of storms to
maintain severe intensity into far eastern Oklahoma and southeastern
Kansas, but there is considerable uncertainty whether the line will
be severe when it moves into a less unstable environment in
Missouri. Therefore, trends will need to continue to be monitored
for a downstream watch.
