VALID 101200Z - 111200Z
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PART OF
THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE OZARKS...
..SUMMARY
THUNDERSTORMS WITH ISOLATED SEVERE GUSTS AND HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE
ON FRIDAY OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS EASTWARD
INTO THE OZARKS.
..SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS/OZARKS
AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE WILL MOVE EASTWARD INTO THE ROCKIES ON FRIDAY,
AS MID-LEVEL FLOW REMAINS WESTERLY OVER THE GREAT PLAINS. AT THE
SURFACE, A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS FAR
SOUTHERN KANSAS. SURFACE HEATING AND LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE
FRONT WILL AID CONVECTIVE INITIATION DURING THE AFTERNOON. A FEW
SMALL THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM LATE AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING. NEAR THE FRONT BY LATE AFTERNOON, MODEL FORECASTS
HAVE MLCAPE PEAKING IN THE 1200 TO 1500 J/KG RANGE, AND SHOW 0-6 KM
SHEAR IN THE 25 TO 30 KNOT RANGE. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR A
MARGINAL SEVERE THREAT. HAIL AND ISOLATED SEVERE GUSTS WILL BE THE
PRIMARY THREATS.
