NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0839 AM CDT FRI AUG 07 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF EASTERN KANSAS INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 071339Z - 071515Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT
SUMMARY...THE RISK OF SEVERE HAIL WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE
OF HOURS.
DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING ON THE BACKSIDE OF EARLIER
CONVECTION, AIDED BY A A 35 KT LLJ (SAMPLED BY ICT VWP) AND RELATED
LOW-LEVEL WARM-AIR ADVECTION. STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES (PER THE
OUN 12Z SOUNDING) ATOP A STATICALLY STABLE BOUNDARY LAYER ARE
CONTRIBUTING TO SUFFICIENT ELEVATED BUOYANCY FOR THE CONTINUATION OF
A FEW ROBUST CELLS. THIS, COMBINED WITH 40-50 KT OF EFFECTIVE SHEAR,
MAY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT TRANSIENT ORGANIZATION AND A RISK OF SEVERE
HAIL OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. HOWEVER, CURRENT EXPECTATIONS
ARE FOR A GRADUAL WEAKENING OF THE LLJ, WHICH SHOULD LIMIT THE
DURATION OF THE SEVERE RISK.
