Valid 122044Z - 122145Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 709 continues. SUMMARY...The risk for severe will likely continue to be confined and increasingly pinched in spatial extent as storm activity progresses from west to east across south-central NE. An additional weather watch will probably be considered east of Tornado Watch #709. DISCUSSION...Recent radar/visible-satellite imagery loops show storms peaking in intensity as they move to be within proximity of the triple point currently located over south-central NE. The airmass is quite cool at the surface north over central portions of NE and the convective mode as already become linear, thereby greatly limiting the risk for large hail. The dryline has surged east across north-central KS and the warm/unstable sector has become effectively pinched to be near the KS/NE border near Hastings, NE.=20 It seems the tornado risk may have peaked already, but a threat for a brief tornado may continue in the short-term near the triple point. The lack of surface-based storm development on the dryline lends uncertainty regarding the coverage of potential stronger storm activity over the next couple of hours as storms slowly move east of tornado watch #709. Convective trends will be monitored for a possible additional weather watch over portions of eastern NE and northeast KS. ...Smith.. 10/12/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7t1CTMh8mXlHFvlNgkOskta_14JUAKpGbr5gmgs9LfnyHwjvJKPk8JZQjInCYIBHD07CYZ6zP= n3zy-9OiBsSAD6zGZ4$ for graphic product...
