Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 193...194...
Valid 200441Z - 200645Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 193, 194
continues.
SUMMARY...Severe threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm Watches
0193 and 0194, but a slow downward trend in convective intensity is
expected during the overnight hours.
DISCUSSION...An organized MCS is propagating southeast across Severe
Thunderstorm Watches 0193 and 0194, with severe wind gusts over 60
knots observed within the strongest portion of the line from Gray to
Pawnee Counties within the last hour. Gusts up to 65 knots were also
recently observed in Seward County, Kansas.
With a strong surge of the cold pool in progress, along with
adequate effective bulk shear oriented normal to the MCS leading
line, a few more instances of damaging wind gusts are possible
within the next few hours. Still, recent RAP point forecast
soundings indicate a stabilizing boundary layer, and a downward
trend in intense cores along the leading line of the MCS were noted
near DDC in the latest few radar scans. As such, a slow downward
trend in severity is likely as the MCS slowly weakens throughout the
evening.
