Valid 190227Z - 190330Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 287, 291 continues. SUMMARY...A highly favorable and localized tornado corridor is evident in parts of southwest Kansas. DISCUSSION...A supercell has recently intensified at the nose of the strong/extreme surface-based instability over southwest KS. Here, the VNX/DDC VWPs are sampling a 40-50 kt low-level jet -- which is contributing to 350-400 m2/s2 0-500m SRH. This very high helicity and strong/extreme instability will favor a localized corridor for tornadoes -- some of which may be strong/intense if storms can remain surface-based. ...Weinman.. 05/19/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!411ppPPSAD458TLYciNfLzo8O45mC8GWCtjFYqob26bdicu4omgLIw7LqFTI8htsip3T0c6cf= a2VMEzO6wQjPmY7FTQ$ for graphic product...
