AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF EASTERN KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 598...
VALID 190440Z - 190615Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 598
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A SEVERE THREAT PERSISTS ALONG THE KS/MO BORDER. HOWEVER,
THE THREAT SHOULD GRADUALLY DECREASE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH
STRENGTHENING CONVECTIVE INHIBITION.
DISCUSSION...A LOOSELY ORGANIZED MCS CONTINUES ACROSS NORTHEAST KS
INTO WESTERN MO. WHILE A FEW REPORTS OF MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED WITH CELLS ON THE WESTERN FLANK OF THIS MCS, THE GUSTS
OVER THE PAST HOUR OR SO HAVE REMAINED BELOW SEVERE LIMITS. AS
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO FURTHER COOL INTO THE 70S F, BOUNDARY-LAYER
DECOUPLING AND MLCINH SHOULD ONLY INCREASE WITH TIME, FURTHER
DIMINISHING THE SEVERE WIND THREAT. A COUPLE OF THE STRONGER CELLS
MAY STILL POSE A HAIL THREAT, BUT SEVERE HAIL SHOULD REMAIN MORE
ISOLATED INTO THE EVENING HOURS. GIVEN CURRENT SEVERE TRENDS, A
DOWNSTREAM WW ISSUANCE APPEARS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME.
