I've been waiting on this tweet. Looks like this streak will be the longest since 2008. Seems very unlikely that we'll challenge that 2008 streak given the short-to-medium range forecast.

I'd call this an overachieving slight risk. Still 7 active warnings. Continues to be a very active month for damaging winds.

That lone tornado report is in Athens county. I know that the county has had less than 40 tornadoes since 1950 so this is pretty significant if confirmed.

If storms can develop tomorrow, Kansas will produce some aesthetically nice supercells

Good plot. The hodograph plots are a very interesting new thing this year. There will be some locally very high supercell indices and tornado indices. CAM models have scattered storm development. The 00z HRRR doesn't really favor larger storms.

Intense MCS/MCV in Alberta. Fwiw, their standards for severe warnings are much different than the US. The presence of “torrential rainfall” is enough to trigger a severe tstorm warning. I can’t imagine the chaos if the US did that.

Expecting storms to develop in the next hour or so

   Areas affected...Parts of north-central KS and south-central NE

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 231857Z - 232130Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

   SUMMARY...The risk of widely scattered severe storms capable of
   large hail, severe gusts, and perhaps a tornado or two will increase
   between 20-23Z across parts of KS and NE. Watch issuance will be
   likely this afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...In the wake of earlier elevated convection over
   north-central KS into southern NE, cloud clearing is allowing for
   boundary-layer heating/mixing amid upper 60s dewpoints. As a subtle
   midlevel impulse evident in water vapor imagery tracks eastward
   across parts of the area in conjunction with a deepening lee trough
   over the central High Plains, isolated high-based thunderstorm
   development may occur over parts of western KS/NE and track eastward
   into the increasingly moist/unstable airmass in the 20-23Z time
   frame. While less uncertain, additional convective development will
   be possible farther east in north-central KS into south-central NE
   -- where steep low-level lapse rates are developing along the
   western periphery of the recovering cold pool. 

   Current thinking is that a modest increase in midlevel
   west-southwesterly flow accompanying the subtle cyclonic impulse
   will result in 35-45 kt of effective bulk shear, which combined with
   the aforementioned destabilization should support organized
   convection including supercells. This activity should generally be
   focused from the eastern periphery of steep low-level lapse rates
   over northwest KS/southwest NE eastward along and north of a weak
   warm front lifting northward in central KS. Given modest midlevel
   lapse rates and an elongating mid/upper-level hodograph, large to
   very large hail will be possible with any semi-discrete supercell
   structures along with locally severe gusts. In addition, a gradual
   increase in the easterly low-level flow component amid a somewhat
   sheltered boundary layer is expected as the lee trough deepens. This
   would yield favorable clockwise-turning low-level hodographs
   supportive of a tornado or two with any longer-lived surface-based
   supercells. A watch will likely be needed for parts of the area this
   afternoon.

 

This area was clearly impacted by an overnight MCC which has decayed. Can clearly see the huge impact it had on Kansas. Can even see a bit of the outflow boundary.

Only a severe watch but we're gonna see some crazy supercells and probably tornadoes... especially in a few hours if storm mode remains favorable.

LCL appears to be a limiting factor for now for the most part. SPC has the 5% tornado for the area where the LCL is more reasonable (750m-1250m). Any cell in the eastern part of the initial development will have a tornado threat immediately IMO

Finally starting to see a serious supercell evolve. Clustered, but there's no denying this is something to watch. Especially since the nocturnal LLJ kicks in in a couple of hours.

It's about to go through a merger but I think this'll become a monster supercell.
