Mesoscale Discussion 0986
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0939 PM CDT Mon May 30 2022
Areas affected...Iowa eastern Nebraska and central/southern Kansas.
Concerning...Tornado Watch 294...
Valid 310239Z - 310345Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 294 continues.
SUMMARY...c*nvective initiation along the surging cold front and
retreating dryline is expected to continue into central and southern
Kansas over the next hour. Damaging wind gusts and hail are the
primary threats. A replacement Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be
issued for portions of the old Tornado Watch294.
DISCUSSION...Over the last 30 minutes, regional radar imagery showed
convective initiation was occurring along the surging cold front and
retreating dryline across portions of IA, southeastern NE and
northern KS. This trend should continue as strong frontal forcing
encounters an increasingly warm and moist boundary layer to the
east. Warm advection beneath a 60 kt low-level jet will provide
further support for rapid storm development and organization along
the front. The strong forcing will support a predominately linear
mode with a primary risk for strong wind gusts and isolated hail. A
tornado or two may also occur with any surges in the line given 0-1
km SRH of 300-400 M2/s2 and strong line normal shear. A replacement
Severe Thunderstorm Watch is being considered for portions of the
area.
