MD 2340 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF NORTHERN OKLAHOMA INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS

Mesoscale Discussion 2340
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0500 PM CDT Wed Sep 30 2026

Areas affected...parts of northern Oklahoma into southeast Kansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 302200Z - 010030Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Scattered storms may persist from parts of central into
northern Oklahoma and southeast Kansas. A storm or two may exhibit
rotation with a brief/weak tornado not out of the question.

DISCUSSION...Scattered storms have developed within within the warm
sector from northern TX across central OK, with additional activity
extending into east-central KS. While the primary large-scale lift
will remain to the north of these areas, south/southwest 850 mb
winds are forecast to increase to over 40 kt this evening.
Currently, the TLX VWP shows 0-1 SRH around 125 m2/s2, with larger
values farther north to 300 m2/s2 at ICT.

Given a few hours of scattered storms within this corridor, and
areas of stronger low-level shear (especially into KS), a brief
tornado cannot be ruled out if a more robust cell can develop.
