AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND NORTHEAST KANSAS
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 143...
VALID 252321Z - 260045Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 143
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A SEVERE HAIL AND WIND THREAT CONTINUES FOR NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF WW 134, BUT THUNDERSTORM INTENSITY DOWNSTREAM INTO
SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND NORTHEAST KANSAS IS UNCERTAIN. TRENDS ARE
BEING MONITORED FOR THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL WATCH ISSUANCE.
DISCUSSION...OVER THE PAST HOUR, A COLLECTION OF DISCRETE CELLS AND
A CONVECTIVE BAND HAVE SHOWN PERIODIC INTENSIFICATION ACROSS
NORTHERN KS AND SOUTHERN NE. OCCASIONAL NICKEL TO QUARTER SIZED HAIL
REPORTS AND SPORADIC GUSTS BETWEEN 60-70 MPH HAVE BEEN NOTED OVER
THE PAST HOUR, AND REGIONAL VWPS CONTINUE TO SAMPLE FAVORABLE WIND
PROFILES FOR MAINTENANCE OF STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION. THESE TRENDS
SUGGEST THAT THE THREAT FOR SEVERE HAIL/WIND SHOULD CONTINUE FOR THE
NEXT HOUR OR SO. HOWEVER, LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW
DOWNSTREAM TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S WITH DEWPOINTS
BETWEEN 45-55 F. THESE OBSERVATIONS SUPPORT RECENT RAP MESOANALYSES
THAT DEPICT INCREASING INHIBITION AND DIMINISHING MLCAPE ACROSS
SOUTHEAST NE AND NORTHEAST KS. THESE THERMODYNAMIC CONDITIONS CAST
UNCERTAINTY ON DOWNSTREAM CONVECTIVE INTENSITY. WHILE THE FAVORABLE
KINEMATIC ENVIRONMENT MAY COMPENSATE FOR THE THERMODYNAMIC
DEFICIENCIES, THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THIS ACTIVITY WILL GENERALLY
WEAKEN WITH EASTWARD EXTENT AFTER 00 UTC. DOWNSTREAM WATCH ISSUANCE
WILL BE CONSIDERED IF A WEAKENING TREND IS NOT OBSERVED OVER THE
NEXT HOUR OR SO.
