Areas affected...Portions of central/eastern KS and western MO
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 247...
Valid 040554Z - 040730Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 247
continues.
SUMMARY...A line of storms may remain capable of producing strong to
severe winds for the next several hours. New watch issuance into
parts of southeastern KS and southwestern MO is possible.
DISCUSSION...A well developed squall line is ongoing across
northeastern KS and vicinity at 0550Z, moving quickly southeastward
around 45-50 kt. Enhanced southwesterly winds of 30-40 kt in the 0-1
km layer per KICT/KEAX radars are supporting a continued feed of
low-level moisture ahead of the line. Even with some convective
inhibition owing to nocturnal cooling of the boundary layer, at
least a moderately unstable airmass downstream of this ongoing
convection (MLCAPE 2000-3000 J/kg) should support the potential for
strong to severe wind gusts as the line approaches the Kansas City
metro area in the next hour or so. Recent back-building has also
occurred into parts of southeastern KS. Depending on short-term
observational trends, a new Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed
for parts of southeastern KS into southwestern MO.
