Mesoscale Discussion 0779
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0712 PM CDT Fri May 12 2023
Areas affected...Northeastern KS into northwestern MO
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 218...
Valid 130012Z - 130145Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 218
continues.
SUMMARY...Storm intensification will continue from northeastern KS
into northwestern MO during the next few hours.
DISCUSSION...Latest radar data from KTWX shows a consolidating
cluster of storms (with embedded mesocyclones) in northeastern KS,
with additional discrete storms developing southwestward. Ahead of
these storms, clockwise-turning hodographs (around 150 m2/s2
effective SRH) and a warm/moist boundary layer should support
continued storm intensification with northeastward extent during the
next few hours. A tornado was recently observed with this activity,
and this threat should continue during the next few hours.
