Areas affected...portions of western KS.
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 010039Z - 010245Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated severe thunderstorms may affect parts of the
discussion area for another 2-3 hours, with hail and damaging wind
possible. The threat currently appears too isolated and short-lived
to warrant a watch.
DISCUSSION...Surface mesoanalysis showed a dryline located from a
cold-frontal intersection north of MCK generally southward across
the GCK area to the western parts of Beaver County OK into watch 57.
Westward retreat of that boundary has begun, and should continue
through the remainder of the evening. While lift along the dryline
should decrease in step with loss of boundary-layer mixing, one or
two additional thunderstorms may develop as a low-level convergence
line to its west (evident in DDC reflectivity animations) merges
with the dryline. Meanwhile, the dryline is backing into the
existing cell that formed to its west over Finney County,
introducing moist-sector inflow air to its environment. The 00Z DDC
sounding, which appears reasonably representative of the pre-sunset
warm sector, showed around 1500 J/kg MLCAPE amidst 30-35 kt
effective-shear magnitude. As such, a temporary increase in
convective organization may occur before nocturnal/diabatic cooling
contributes to CINH too strong to maintain surface-based convection.
Just 2-3 deg C near-surface cooling of that sounding greatly
strengthens capping, though internal storm dynamics and moisture
transport can help to maintain convection slightly longer than
parcel theory alone would suggest.
