Areas affected...Portions of northeast KS into western/central MO
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 124...
Valid 180825Z - 181000Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 124
continues.
SUMMARY...The severe/damaging wind threat has increased with a small
bow moving eastward. An isolated hail threat also continues. Local
watch extension (in area) is possible.
DISCUSSION...Mainly supercell structures over northeast KS have
evolved into a small bowing complex over the past hour or so. This
convection is approaching the Kansas City metro in the near term,
and should pose a continued severe/damaging wind threat. Gusts up to
around 70 mph may occur given the well organized nature of the bow,
even as low-level static stability attempts to hinder convective
downdrafts from reaching the surface. Isolated severe hail also
appears possible, as strong reflectivity aloft associated with an
embedded supercell persists on the southern flank of the bow. Given
a current eastward motion around 35-40 kt, a local extension in area
for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 124 to include more of western/central
MO may be needed. Still, the eastward extent of the severe threat
remain somewhat uncertain, as less MUCAPE is present farther east.
However, greater DCAPE is present into central MO, which may support
a continued severe wind threat through the early morning hours.
