AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHWEST MISSOURI
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 156...
VALID 271059Z - 271230Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 156
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A MORE NORTH-SOUTH SEGMENT OF THE LINE WILL POSE A
CONTINUED WIND/HAIL THREAT, AS WELL AS ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT, INTO
AREAS IMMEDIATELY SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OF KANSAS CITY.
DISCUSSION...A SECOND LINE SEGMENT IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF KANSAS CITY
IS INTERSECTING THE TRAILING OUTFLOW FROM THE FIRST SEGMENT (NOW IN
NORTH CENTRAL MO). AS 65-70 F SURFACE TEMPERATURES, DEWPOINTS IN
THE MID-UPPER 60S AND AT LEAST WEAK SURFACE-BASED CAPE ALONG THE
WARM FRONT APPROACHES THESE STORMS FROM THE SOUTH, THE POTENTIAL FOR
STORMS ROOTED AT THE GROUND WILL LIKEWISE INCREASE. THE KEAX VWP
SHOWS VERY STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND STREAMWISE VORTICITY INFLOW
INTO THIS PORTION OF THE LINE, THIS WILL BE THE PREFERRED CORRIDOR
FOR MESOVORTEX FORMATION AND A LOCAL INCREASE IN TORNADO POTENTIAL
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. OTHERWISE, THE POTENTIAL FOR 65-75 MPH
GUSTS AND 1-1.75 INCH HAIL WILL CONTINUE.
IF THE TORNADO THREAT CONTINUES TO INCREASE LATER THIS MORNING, A
NEW TORNADO WATCH MAY BECOME NECESSARY NEAR I-70.
