Severe Storm Risk

Sat 9:00 PM - Sun 8:00 AM

There is a Marginal Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL/EASTERN KANSAS...WESTERN/CENTRAL MISSOURI...AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS SUMMARY Scattered severe thunderstorms will persist into the overnight hours from parts of the central and southern Plains to the Lower Missouri and Middle Mississippi Valleys. Swaths of damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a couple tornadoes are all possible. Central/Southern Plains into the Lower Missouri Valley Along a northeast/southwest-oriented cold front moving southeastward across central KS, an expansive band of upscale-growing convection will continue tracking southeastward into the overnight hours. Steep midlevel lapse rates atop a warm/moist boundary layer is yielding a corridor of strong surface-based buoyancy. This, combined with 40-50 kt of effective shear oriented oblique to the convective gust front, and a gradually strengthening low-level jet (evident in VWP data), will support a swath of severe wind gusts (some 75+ mph) with the MCS. The greatest concentration of severe wind gusts is expected across southeast KS and adjacent portions of northeastern OK and western MO -- where the ENH risk remains in place. Additionally, a couple embedded tornadoes cannot be ruled out, given the strengthening low-level jet/shear and moist boundary layer. Farther south, one dominant right-moving supercell is ongoing along a remnant outflow boundary in north-central OK. This storm will pose the greatest risk of large hail and some tornado risk in the near-term.
