...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms will spread southeast across the central Plains
this evening. Damaging winds and large hail are the primary threats.

...Central Plains...

Weak short-wave trough has topped the western US ridge and is now
digging southeast across the central Plains. Robust convection has
evolved ahead of this feature with a corridor of mixed supercells
and multi cell clusters. An east-west band of severe thunderstorms
extends across southern NE and this activity is propagating
southeast immediately ahead of the short wave. 1km AGL inflow is
roughly 30-35kt into this activity and LLJ is forecast to strengthen
markedly this evening into northeast KS. This complex should grow
upscale as it advances downstream. If this occurs, an organized
damaging wind event could materialize along the leading edge of the
cold-pool enhanced squall line.

More isolated convection is noted across the High Plains of western
KS and these storms should remain somewhat isolated as they
propagate southeast. A more concentrated band of high-based
convection has evolved from northeast NM into the eastern OK
Panhandle. This activity has the potential to produce severe wind
gusts as it spreads east this evening.
