Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted August 1 Administrators Posted August 1 MD 1781 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 583...587... FOR NORTHEAST KANSAS...NORTHWEST AND NORTH-CENTRAL MISSOURI Mesoscale Discussion 1781 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1111 PM CDT Wed Jul 31 2024 Areas affected...Northeast Kansas...Northwest and North-central Missouri Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 583...587... Valid 010411Z - 010615Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 583, 587 continues. SUMMARY...A wind-damage threat is expected to continue for a few more hours across parts of the lower Missouri Valley, as an MCS moves eastward. DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar imagery from Kansas City shows a severe bowing line segment over the Kansas City Metro. Within the last hour, the line has been moving east at about 40 knots. This storm motion contributed to very strong wind gusts in the Kansas City Metro, with several reports of winds in the 60 to 80 mph range. The bowing line segment is moving into a pocket of strong instability, with the RAP estimating MLCAPE around 4000 J/kg across much of north-central Missouri. The instability, along with large-scale ascent associated with a shortwave trough in eastern parts of the central Plains, are providing support for the linear MCS. Due to the instability, the MCS may remain organized for a few more hours. It will continue to move eastward across northwestern and north-central Missouri, where there will be potential for wind gusts in the 60 to 80 mph range. ..Broyles.. 08/01/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
