Mesoscale Discussion 1170
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0902 PM CDT Tue Jun 04 2024
Areas affected...parts of northeastern Oklahoma far southeast KS
extreme southwest MO and northwestern AR.
Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely
Valid 050202Z - 050330Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...Intensifying bowing segments moving out of southern KS
should persist with a risk for damaging gusts and isolated hail over
parts of OK, AR and MO. A new Severe Thunderstorm Watch will likely
be needed soon.
DISCUSSION...As of 0155 UTC, regional radar imagery showed several
intensifying bowing structures were located over parts of
southeastern KS. These storms have produced several measured severe
and damaging gusts over the last couple of hours. Storms are
expected to continue propagating southeastward along a buoyancy
gradient near the OK/AR border into this evening. Additional
development along the southwest flank is also possible into parts of
north-central OK with time supporting further upscale growth. The
moderate MLCAPE (2000-3000 J/kg) will continue to support robust
updrafts with the potential for severe gusts and occasional hail.
A further complicating factor is a second cluster of storms
currently over central OK. These storms are likely to persist and
may eventually merge with the cluster moving out of KS. While there
remains some uncertainty on storm evolution, the severe risk is
expected to increase over eastern OK this evening. A new Severe
Thunderstorm Watch is likely needed soon.
