Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0741 PM CDT Wed Aug 05 2020 Valid 060100Z - 061200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... A few severe thunderstorms will linger this evening across the central High Plains. ...Central High Plains... Early-evening water vapor imagery depicts a mid-level vort along the UT/CO border near 4BL. This feature will soon turn east and approach the High Plains toward sunrise. Latest guidance suggests some mass response ahead of this feature with a weak LLJ expected to develop along the KS/CO border late this evening. Isolated strong/severe storms have developed well ahead of this vort but organization has been lacking and there is currently no indication that this activity will grow upscale appreciably. Even so, gusty winds/hail may continue to be noted with this convection has it spreads toward northwest KS. Farther east into southeast SD/northeast NE, towering cumulus has been slow to develop into thunderstorms. However, over the last hour or so, more sustained updrafts have begun to produce a few showers. Will maintain low severe probs but overall risk appears somewhat marginal. ..Darrow.. 08/06/2020Read more
