Mesoscale Discussion 0584
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0555 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2022
Areas affected...South-central NE into north-central KS
Concerning...Tornado Watch 157...158...
Valid 292255Z - 300030Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 157, 158 continues.
SUMMARY...The damaging-wind risk will likely increase this evening,
in addition to the ongoing threat of hail and a few tornadoes.
DISCUSSION...Intense thunderstorms have increased in coverage over
the last 30-60 minutes across south-central NE into far
north-central KS, in response to notable low-level moist advection
occurring just to the north of a deepening surface cyclone. A
favorably veering wind profile with height (noted on recent KUEX
VWP) will continue to support supercell structures, though a
continued tendency toward storm mergers and upscale growth appears
likely, as storms consolidate along an accelerating cold front.
The upscale evolution will likely lead to increasing risk of
strong/damaging wind gusts, with one or more swaths of potentially
significant wind (75 mph or greater) possible. Moderate buoyancy and
downstream 0-1 km SRH in excess of 200 m2/s2 will also support a
tornado risk with any embedded supercell structures, and potentially
with any QLCS mesovortices that may evolve with time.
