MD 0267 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL/EASTERN KS
Mesoscale Discussion 0267
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0330 PM CDT Sat Apr 06 2019
Areas affected...Portions of central/eastern KS
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 062030Z - 062300Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Marginally severe hail may occur this afternoon into the
early evening. Watch issuance is unlikely.
DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have developed this afternoon ahead of a
shortwave trough across parts of central KS. Cloud cover has
generally been more prevalent across this area compared to locations
farther south, and instability should generally remain weak through
the evening. Although low to mid-level winds are more southerly per
KICT and KTOP VWPs, some speed shear is present in RAP forecast
soundings across parts of central/eastern KS. Related 30-35 kt of
effective bulk shear may be enough to support occasional updraft
organization, and marginally severe hail could occur as mid-level
lapse rates modestly steepen with the approach of the shortwave
trough. The overall severe threat will likely remain too isolated
and marginal to warrant watch issuance.
