Mesoscale Discussion 1457 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0904 PM CDT Thu Jun 27 2024 Areas affected...southwestern Kansas and the Oklahoma Panhandle Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 477... Valid 280204Z - 280300Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 477 continues. SUMMARY...Severe weather risk remains maximized along the Oklahoma Panhandle/southwestern Kansas border, where damaging winds and hail remain possible. DISCUSSION...A small cluster of strong/severe storms continues moving eastward across the border area of the Oklahoma Panhandle and southwestern Kansas. The storms are occurring within a moderately unstable environment, aided by a 40 kt southwesterly low-level jet, and remain capable of producing hail in excess of severe levels, and damaging wind gusts to 70 mph. East of the watch, a more stable airmass is indicated, suggesting lesser severe risk with eastward extent. As such, downstream WW issuance may not be required, with primary risk likely to remain confined to areas with WW 477. ..Goss.. 06/28/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
