MD 0379 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 76… FOR NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS
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. ..Bentley/Hart.. 04/18/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
