NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0448 PM CDT WED SEP 09 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL GREAT PLAINS INTO
THE LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 092148Z - 092345Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT
SUMMARY...ISOLATED DAMAGING/SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
THROUGH THIS EVENING.
DISCUSSION...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING ALONG A
CONVECTIVELY REINFORCED SURFACE COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM JUST SOUTH
OF KANSAS CITY, MO, INTO THE TX/OK PANHANDLES. THE ENVIRONMENT
ALONG/AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY IS CHARACTERIZED BY 500-1500 J/KG
MLCAPE AND VERY STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES (>9 C/KM), WITH SURFACE
TEMPERATURES COMMONLY IN THE LOW 100S F. DEEP-LAYER FLOW/SHEAR
REMAINS WEAK, WITH REGIONAL VWPS GENERALLY SAMPLING 20-25 KTS OR
LESS THROUGH THE COLUMN. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROMOTE A
PULSE-SEVERE STORM MODE, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED
DAMAGING/SEVERE WIND GUSTS TO ACCOMPANY STRONGER DOWNDRAFT (AS
EVIDENCED BY A RECENTLY MEASURED 72 MPH GUST IN THE NORTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE).
THE EXCEPTION IS ACROSS PORTIONS OF WEST-CENTRAL MO, WHERE LOCALLY
GREATER CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IS NOTED IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO STRONGER
MID-LEVEL WESTERLIES AND IN THE VICINITY OF A WEAK SURFACE LOW.
STRONGER EFFECTIVE SHEAR (30-40 KTS) COUPLED WITH MARGINALLY GREATER
BUOYANCY (UP TO 2000 J/KG MLCAPE) MAY SUPPORT A SOMEWHAT MORE
WELL-ORGANIZED CLUSTER THAT WOULD EVOLVE EASTWARD INTO WEST-CENTRAL
MO. RECENT HRRR/RRFS EXPLICIT WIND GUST FORECASTS SUGGEST SOME
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR ISOLATED GUSTS UP TO 55-65 MPH.
THE OVERALL SEVERE RISK IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN RELATIVELY ISOLATED,
HOWEVER, PRECLUDING THE NEED FOR WATCH ISSUANCE.
