MD 1626 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST NE INTO ADJACENT SOUTHWEST IA…NORTHWEST MO…AND NORTHEAST KS
Mesoscale Discussion 1626 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0357 AM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 Areas affected...Parts of central/southeast NE into adjacent southwest IA...northwest MO...and northeast KS Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 100857Z - 101030Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Isolated severe storms may continue through the early morning. DISCUSSION...A long-lived QLCS has shown a gradual weakening trend from western IA into southeast NE early this morning. However, a wake low has developed behind the line across southeast NE, as evidenced by an earlier 1-hour pressure drop of 7.8 mb and gusts up to 56 kt at KLNK. This area of strong to locally severe wake low winds may spread across parts of northeast KS and far northwest MO/southwest IA with time. Locally damaging gusts also remain possible near the primary gust front of the QLCS, especially where more vigorous convection persists across southwest IA. Farther west, a strong low-level jet (as noted on recent VWPs from KLNX) and related warm-advection regime are supporting strong to potentially severe elevated storms across central NE. An earlier cell within this regime became rather intense, with MESH hail estimates of greater than 2 inches in diameter. While this cell has since weakened, strong elevated instability and sufficient effective shear may continue to support a threat of isolated hail and localized strong/damaging gusts within this regime through the early morning. ..Dean/Guyer.. 07/10/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
