The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Tornado Watch for portions of
Northeastern Kansas
Northwestern Missouri
* Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 155 PM until
1000 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible
Widespread large hail and scattered very large hail events to 3
inches in diameter likely
Widespread damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 80
mph likely
SUMMARY...Initially elevated storms could become rooted near the
surface along a slow-moving front from northeastern Kansas into
northern Missouri this afternoon. Additional storms are expected to
form and spread northeastward into the watch area from the southwest
by mid-late afternoon. Supercells are expected with very large hail
and potentially a few tornadoes, especially with storms able move
along the front. Upscale growth into a cluster is also possible
late this afternoon/evening, with an increasing threat for damaging
winds.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 50 statute miles
north and south of a line from 35 miles south southeast of
Kirksville MO to 25 miles south southwest of Manhattan KS. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).

1000 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
A few tornadoes likely
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
inches in diameter likely
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
SUMMARY...Scattered supercell development is expected in the next
couple of hours along the dryline from west central Oklahoma
northward into central Kansas, as well as in the warm sector east of
the dryline across south central Kansas. The storm environment will
favor very large hail as a primary concern, though a few tornadoes
will also be possible. Damaging gusts will become more of a threat
if any clustering of storms occurs.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles
east and west of a line from 35 miles northeast of Salina KS to 30

north and south of a line from 40 miles west southwest of Franklin
PA to 35 miles north northeast of Trenton NJ. For a complete

and possible warnings.
Additional severe storms and potentially strong tornadoes are expected later this evening across the Plains states.
I'll be monitoring the situation closely and will provide WxLIVE coverage thru the newly launched #WxLIVENOW YouTube channel if conditions warrant.
Otherwise Lisa and I plan on seeing you at regular time tonight on #WxLIVEat945. See you then!
