Mesoscale Discussion 2166 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0345 PM CDT Wed Oct 30 2024 Areas affected...southern Kansas and northwest/central/northern Oklahoma. Concerning...Tornado Watch 694... Valid 302045Z - 302215Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 694 continues. SUMMARY...The large hail/severe wind threat is expected to continue through the afternoon as supercells move across northwest Oklahoma and into southern Kansas. The tornado threat is expected to increase this evening. DISCUSSION...Supercells have developed along the dryline in western Oklahoma. Thus far, one measured wind gust of 70 mph has been observed with MRMS MESH suggesting around 1 to 1.25 inch hail. As these supercells mature, expect the threat for large hail and severe wind gusts to continue. Low-level shear is quite weak this afternoon (60-70 m2/s2 0-500 SRH per VNX VWP), but is forecast to increase substantially after 22-23Z as the low-level jet strengthens. During this time is when the greatest tornado threat is anticipated. Eventually, expect storms to congeal into a squall line with severe wind and a few embedded QLCS tornadoes as the primary threat. ..Bentley/Gleason.. 10/30/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
