...A Tornado Watch has been issued...
Expires: May 19, 2026 @ 1:00am
LOCATIONS
East-Central and Southeast Kansas, West-Central Missouri
EFFECTIVE
This Monday night and Tuesday morning from 610 PM until 100 AM CDT.
THREATS
A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible, Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph likely, Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible
SITUATION
A line of supercell thunderstorms is currently ongoing along and ahead of a cold front that extends from northeast into central KS. This line of storms is expected to continue eastward/southeastward this evening, into an environment that will remain supportive of a continued risk for all severe hazards. Any discrete storms ahead of the line could pose a risk for a strong tornado, with line-embedded tornadoes possible as well. There is some potential for the development of several embedded bowing clusters, which could result in corridors of 65 to 75 mph wind gusts. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles north and south of a line from 5 miles west of Wichita KS to 25 miles north northeast of Knob Noster MO. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7).
PRECAUTIONS
A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings.
