AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN KANSAS INTO FAR SOUTHEAST
NEBRASKA AND NORTHWESTERN MISSOURI
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 042211Z - 042345Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...INCREASING STORM COVERAGE AND SOME ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN
NOTED WITH SEVERAL CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTH-CENTRAL KS IN
THE LAST HOUR. THIS TREND MAY CONTINUE WITH ORGANIZATION INTO A
BOWING CLUSTER WITH A LOCALLY ENHANCED RISK FOR DAMAGING GUSTS AND A
COUPLE OF TORNADOES.
DISCUSSION...AS OF 22 UTC, REGIONAL VISIBLE AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOWED
AN INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ASSOCIATED WITH AN MCV AND
REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY NEAR THE KS/NE BORDER. SEVERAL STRONGER
CLUSTERS HAVE EMERGED THIS AFTERNOON, WITH THE STRONGEST OVER
MARSHALL, CLAY AND RILEY COUNTIES IN KS. THIS CLUSTER HAS SHOWN SOME
ORGANIZATION, DESPITE LIMITED VERTICAL SHEAR, WITH A BOWING
STRUCTURE AND A RECENT REPORTS OF DAMAGE AND A FUNNEL CLOUD. IF IT
CAN REMAIN NEAR OR ON THE WARMER SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY, THIS SEGMENT
MAY CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE AS IT INTERACTS WITH THE BOUNDARY WHERE
LOCAL CONVERGENCE IS STRONGER. THIS MAY SUPPORT A LOCALLY ENHANCED
CORRIDOR OF DAMAGING WIND AND BRIEF TORNADO POTENTIAL FROM NORTHEAST
KS INTO NORTHWESTERN MO THIS EVENING.
ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS ONGOING ON THE SOUTHERN FLANK
OF THIS CLUSTER INTO CENTRAL KS, WHICH MAY SUPPORT FURTHER UPSCALE
GROWTH OR A SUPERCELL OR TWO. WHILE DEEP-LAYER SHEAR REMAINS QUITE
LIMITED, THE VERY MOIST AIR MASS COMBINED WITH LOCALLY STRONGER 0-1
SRH MAY SUPPORT A BRIEF/WEAK TORNADO HAIL OR DAMAGING GUSTS. AN
INCREASE IN THE LOW-LEVEL JET THIS EVENING MAY ALLOW FOR SOME
ORGANIZATION OR POTENTIAL WITH ANY MORE PERSISTENT CLUSTERS THIS
EVENING.
