MD 0455 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR EASTERN KS
Mesoscale Discussion 0455 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0418 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024 Areas affected...Eastern KS Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 160918Z - 161015Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...A couple severe storms may develop across eastern KS through sunrise with all hazards possible. DISCUSSION...A swath of initially elevated convection has persisted across eastern KS. One cell over southwest Greenwood county appears to have finally acquired supercell character over the past 30 minutes and may mark the transition to a realized severe threat into sunrise. Additional candidate storms to its west and northwest will have potential as well to become supercells or at least organized clusters as convection advances northeast this morning. The overall threat should remain spatially isolated. The tornado threat will be limited towards the MO border given less-quality boundary-layer moisture with eastern extent. ..Grams/Gleason.. 04/16/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0454 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 114... FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST NE
Mesoscale Discussion 0454 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0322 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024 Areas affected...South-central and southeast NE Concerning...Tornado Watch 114... Valid 160822Z - 160915Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 114 continues. SUMMARY...QLCS tornadoes and severe wind gusts should remain the primary threats with a north-northeast moving line of storms over south-central NE. DISCUSSION...Numerous but generally brief, mesovortices were noted earlier along the north to eastern flank of a QLCS in south-central NE. Measured severe wind gusts up to 67 mph have been common. The attendant MCV centered over Dawson County appears to be advancing north, along with its immediate downstream deep convection arc. This orientation has become perpendicular to the low and deep-layer shear vector which is aligned from the south, and should move along the fringe of 60-61 F surface dew points. Farther southeast closer to the KS border, the bowing arc is closer to slightly richer surface dew points (62-63 F), and its orientation should favor sporadic transient mesovortices within 40-50 kt of south-southwesterly 0-1 km shear. ..Grams.. 04/16/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0354 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024 Valid 191200Z - 241200Z ...DISCUSSION... On Friday/D4, an upper low is forecast to move across Ontario, with an expansive low-amplitude trough sweeping east across the northern Plains and Great Lakes. This associated trough is expected to broaden and deepen over the next several days, becoming centered over Hudson Bay. The end result will be gradually expanding high pressure over much of the CONUS, with moisture shunted farther south each day. For Friday, a front is expected to stretch from TX across the Southeast and toward the Mid Atlantic, with robust low-level moisture to the south. While this will support destabilization, the boundary will largely be south of the strong winds aloft, with less shear potential. Scattered daytime thunderstorms are likely Friday along the front, with thunderstorm chances increasing over the southern Plains on Saturday/D5. While a minor southern-stream wave may move across the Southwest and northern Mexico on Saturday, shear is forecast to be weak. High pressure is then forecast to shift south across the Plains and into the Southeast as the Hudson Bay and eastern North American trough develops, with little if any severe threat beyond Saturday/D5.
