Damaging winds from 70-90 mph will be the primary threat, most likely across eastern Kansas. A downstream severe thunderstorm watch will be needed. DISCUSSION...As alluded to in MCD 0839, increasingly widespread severe wind gusts are expected as multiple intense thunderstorm clusters over north-central to southwest KS consolidate by mid-evening. The leading cluster across north-central KS should spread into northeast KS initially, with additional low-level warm-advection-driven storms possible farther northeast across the Mid-MO Valley. Surface dew points are generally in the mid 50s to low 60s across northeast KS and southeast NE currently and this may mitigate eastward intensification in the near-term. But a plume of higher surface dew points exists both to the south, emanating north from OK, and farther east into central/northern MO. Eventual cluster consolidation will probably yield eastward acceleration later this evening with embedded bows spreading across at least eastern KS. A plume of substantial MLCIN that will increase after dusk across eastern OK and southeast KS, may result in the more prominent severe wind threat arcing east-northeastward in time. ...Grams/Smith.. 05/19/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4O6NIxO3JKL-HYNq2CNCqwx3o2pr7SiAWDyDPNNMyT_V63iAW6tn-UjA2vcLuE_3FwiMpjqxJ= QU2mxyWXwME0G3JZT0$ for graphic product...
