“Moderate” Risk of Severe Storms (4/8/15)
The Storm Prediction Center has just upgraded portions of southern Kansas and northern/western Oklahoma to a “Moderate” risk of severe weather today. Here is their words!
CONDITIONS MAY BECOME INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE FOR A FEW
LONGER-LIVED...DISCRETE OR SEMI-DISCRETE SUPERCELLS THIS EVE THROUGH
LATE TNGT NEAR AND ENE OF SFC WAVE TRACKING ENE ACROSS S CNTRL KS
AND ADJACENT NRN OK/W CNTRL MO. GIVEN THAT THE LOW-LVL FLOW LIKELY
WILL APPRECIABLY/STRENGTHEN GIVEN BOTH TIME OF DAY AND THE
FAVORABLY-TIMED APPROACH OF BAJA JET MAX...THE CORRESPONDING
INCREASE IN LOW-LVL HODOGRAPH LENGTH AND CURVATURE COULD YIELD AN
ENHANCED RISK FOR A STRONG TORNADO OR TWO. MORE ISOLD TSTMS WITH A
RISK FOR VERY LARGE HAIL AND A COUPLE TORNADOES ARE EXPECTED SSWD
ALONG DRY LINE INTO W CNTRL TX.
