WW 676 SEVERE TSTM KS 180005Z - 180400Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 676 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 705 PM CDT Tue Sep 17 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southwest Kansas * Effective this Tuesday evening from 705 PM until 1100 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible SUMMARY...A line of high-based thunderstorms will spread into southwest Kansas through the evening, posing a risk of locally damaging wind gusts. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 35 statute miles east and west of a line from 55 miles north northwest of Garden City KS to 20 miles west southwest of Liberal KS. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for 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. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 674...WW 675... AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 24035. ...Hart Read more

MD 2081 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN MONTANA...WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA...AND NORTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA
Mesoscale Discussion 2081 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0625 PM CDT Tue Sep 17 2024 Areas affected...Portions of eastern Montana...western North Dakota...and northwestern South Dakota Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 172325Z - 180200Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...The risk of severe wind gusts and large hail should gradually increase over the next few hours. The area is being monitored for a possible watch, though timing is still uncertain. DISCUSSION...A few strong to severe storms have developed along a north/south-oriented confluence zone across eastern MT. These storms are evolving in an environment characterized by around 40 kt of deep-layer shear (per regional VWP) and moderate surface-based instability -- supportive of organized clusters and supercell structures. Isolated large hail and severe wind gusts could accompany this activity. During the next few hours, large-scale ascent preceding an approaching midlevel trough may encourage an uptick in convection from northeastern MT into western ND and northwestern SD. Sufficient deep-layer shear/mostly straight hodographs and steep deep-layer lapse rates should favor organized clusters and supercells capable of severe wind gusts and large hail. The overall timing and coverage of the severe threat still remains somewhat uncertain, and convective trends are being monitored for a possible watch for parts of the area. ..Weinman/Hart.. 09/17/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 2082 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 674...675... FOR CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 2082 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0641 PM CDT Tue Sep 17 2024 Areas affected...Central High Plains Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 674...675... Valid 172341Z - 180145Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 674, 675 continues. SUMMARY...Strong winds are the primary risk along the leading edge of a squall line as it propagates across the central High Plains. DISCUSSION...Early-evening water-vapor imagery suggests mid-level short-wave trough is located over southeast CO, ejecting northeast into the central High Plains. Organized convection has evolved ahead of this feature, primarily expressed as a squall line which extends from southwest Yuma County CO-Baca County CO. Strong winds are likely associated with this squall line, and this is the primary risk as the squall line advances into western KS/southwest NE over the next 1-2 hours. ..Darrow.. 09/17/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0751 PM CDT Tue Sep 17 2024 Valid 180100Z - 181200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE HIGH PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms capable of producing scattered to numerous severe wind gusts and hail will continue to develop across the High Plains this evening. Some of the wind gusts may be significant (75+ mph). ...Southern and Central High Plains... A mid-level low is evident on water vapor imagery over the northern Rockies, with cyclonic southwesterly flow located from the Four Corners into the central and northern Plains. Ahead of the trough, a band of strong large-scale ascent appears to be spreading into the central High Plains, where a large plume of mid-level moisture is located. Thunderstorms are ongoing ahead of this band of ascent, and are moving into a moderately unstable airmass where MLCAPE is estimated to be in the 1000 to 2000 J/kg range. Concerning the shear environment, regional WSR-88D VWPs in east-central Colorado have 0-6 km shear from 40 to 50 knots, with some directional shear in the lowest 3 km. In addition, the RAP has a strengthening low-level jet analyzed from far eastern Colorado and western Kansas northward into southeastern South Dakota. As the low-level jet continues to strengthen, the lift, shear and instability will continue to support severe thunderstorm development over the southern and central High Plains this evening. In response, an organized line segment will continue to move eastward across western Nebraska, western Kansas and the Texas Panhandle, where scattered severe wind gusts are expected. Wind gusts above 70 knots will be possible along the more organized parts of the line. The threat should persist into the mid to late evening. ...Northern High Plains... Water vapor imagery shows an upper-level low over eastern Idaho, with divergent mid-level from the south and south-southeast across much of the northern High Plains. An axis moderate instability is analyzed from central North Dakota into northeastern Montana, where MLCAPE is estimated in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range. Thunderstorms are ongoing near the instability axis in northeastern Montana. Additional storms have developed further south near the South Dakota-Wyoming state line. The latest WSR-88D VWP at Glasgow, Montana has easterly flow at the surface, with a sharply veering wind profile in the low-levels. 0-6 km shear is estimated to be near 40 knots. This environment, along with steep low to mid-level lapse rates should continue to support a severe threat for several more hours. A potential for severe wind gusts and isolated large hail will exist with the stronger storms. ..Broyles.. 09/18/2024 Read more

MD 2082 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 674...675... FOR CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 2082 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0641 PM CDT Tue Sep 17 2024 Areas affected...Central High Plains Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 674...675... Valid 172341Z - 180145Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 674, 675 continues. SUMMARY...Strong winds are the primary risk along the leading edge of a squall line as it propagates across the central High Plains. DISCUSSION...Early-evening water-vapor imagery suggests mid-level short-wave trough is located over southeast CO, ejecting northeast into the central High Plains. Organized convection has evolved ahead of this feature, primarily expressed as a squall line which extends from southwest Yuma County CO-Baca County CO. Strong winds are likely associated with this squall line, and this is the primary risk as the squall line advances into western KS/southwest NE over the next 1-2 hours. ..Darrow.. 09/17/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
