MD 1602 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 504… FOR THE COLORADO KANSAS NEBRASKA TRI-STATE REGION
Mesoscale Discussion 1602 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1146 PM CDT Wed Jul 27 2022 Areas affected...the Colorado Kansas Nebraska tri-state region Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 504... Valid 280446Z - 280615Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 504 continues. SUMMARY...Sporadic severe hail and wind gusts remains possible over the next couple hours. DISCUSSION...East/southeast low-level winds are helping to maintain 60s F dewpoints ahead of a cold front now surging south across central NE. While boundary-layer CIN continues to increase with time, favorable directional shear with height and ample moisture are helping to maximize storm relative inflow with the various clusters and cells, with propagation generally in a southeastward direction. Given the convection along the front over central NE, several more hours of sporadic hail or wind threat is expected over the watch area. While an additional watch is not anticipated, additional counties in KS may need to be added should storms remain severe later tonight as they approach the southern and eastern bounds. ..Jewell.. 07/28/2022 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
