Areas affected...Extreme southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma Panhandle
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 170153Z - 170330Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Storm cluster will continue discrete propagation into the
Oklahoma Panhandle before weakening. Isolated severe gusts will be
the main threat through 03-04z.
DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms has displayed a tendency for
discrete propagation/new development to the southwest, on the
immediate cool side of a slow moving front. Per the recent measured
gusts as high as 78 mph at DDC, the mesoscale environment remains
supportive of severe outflow gusts given lingering steep low-level
lapse rates and a narrow zone where MLCAPE is still near 3000 J/kg.
The storm cluster will likely spread into the central OK Panhandle
from now until 03-04z, with weakening expected thereafter as the low
levels stabilize gradually. In the interim, occasional severe
outflow gusts will remain possible, but the area affected and the
duration of the threat are too confined for a watch.
