WW 480 TORNADO KS MO 282220Z - 290400Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 480 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 520 PM CDT Fri Jun 28 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Central into Eastern Kansas Western and Northern Missouri * Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 520 PM until 1100 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A couple tornadoes possible Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast to develop into the evening across the Watch area. A few supercells are possible, and an accompanying risk for large to very large hail (1 to 2.5 inches in diameter) and a threat for a couple of tornadoes, will potentially maximize during the early to mid evening. If a cluster of storms can develop later this evening, a risk for severe gusts (60-75 mph) will become an increasing severe hazard, in addition to a threat for hail. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles north and south of a line from 35 miles east of Chillicothe MO to 40 miles west southwest of Manhattan KS. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. && AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector 27020. ...Smith Read more

MD 1465 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 480... FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN KANSAS INTO NORTHWESTERN MISSOURI
Mesoscale Discussion 1465 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0730 PM CDT Fri Jun 28 2024 Areas affected...portions of northeastern Kansas into northwestern Missouri Concerning...Tornado Watch 480... Valid 290030Z - 290200Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 480 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 480. Severe gusts remain the primary threat in the near term, with large hail also possible. A tornado cannot be ruled out if storms can develop or move into an environment characterized by better low-level shear. DISCUSSION...Intense multicell and transient supercell structures continue to progress eastward across northeastern KS amid a strongly unstable environment (4000+ J/kg MLCAPE per 00Z TOP RAOB). Regional radar suggests these storms are exceeding 50 kft in height, with the Geary County, KS having a history of severe hail and wind gusts (including a recent report of an ASOS-measured 75 mph gust). Despite around 45 kts of effective bulk shear present (00Z TOP RAOB), regional VADs depict modest low-level shear over eastern KS, which may be why the ongoing storms have been outflow dominant, struggling to maintain classic supercell structure. As such, severe gusts should remain the main threat, at least in the near term. Severe hail will also be possible with updrafts reaching peak intensity. A southwesterly 925-850 mb low-level jet is forecast to intensify through evening, which should boost low-level hodograph size and curvature, If relatively discrete storms can avoid being undercut by outflow and ingest greater low-level shear this evening (before the boundary-layer stabilizes), a tornado may still occur. ..Squitieri.. 06/29/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0800 PM CDT Fri Jun 28 2024 Valid 290100Z - 291200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE CENTRAL GREAT PLAINS TO LOWER MO VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Scattered damaging winds and large hail along with a couple of tornadoes may occur into tonight across parts of the central Great Plains to the Lower Missouri Valley. ...01Z Update... Primary severe thunderstorm development has occurred near the I-70 corridor in northeast KS where slow-moving supercells have produced measured severe wind gusts to 75 mph and hail up to golf balls thus far. Very rich mean mixing ratios approaching 20 g/kg as sampled by the 00Z Topeka sounding in conjunction with around 45 kt effective bulk shear will favor supercell structures and organized clustering through the rest of the evening. Please see MCD 1465 for further discussion of the expected hazards. Additional storms should intensify north-northeastward along the surface front into southwest/west-central IA with a mixed severe threat spreading east in parts of IA/MO. High-based storms over the central High Plains should intensify as they impinge on richer buoyancy downstream along the KS/NE border, and will likely be maintained into the overnight period along the central Great Plains baroclinic zone. Isolated severe storms will remain possible, mainly through the rest of the evening, across parts of the Upper Midwest. This thunderstorm activity will be aided by a shortwave trough moving east from ND towards western Lake Superior. Despite ample effective bulk shear, weak MLCAPE and stronger forcing for ascent occurring behind the surface cold front, should limit the overall severe risk. ..Grams.. 06/29/2024 Read more
