  "textContent": "MD 0978 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF NORTHEAST KANSAS INTO SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND VICINITY\n\n\n\n\n    Mesoscale Discussion 0978\n    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK\n    0129 PM CDT Thu Jun 04 2026\n\n    Areas affected...parts of northeast Kansas into southeast Nebraska\n    and vicinity\n\n    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely\n\n    Valid 041829Z - 042130Z\n\n    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent\n\n    SUMMARY...A few strong to severe storms are possible from northern\n    Kansas into southwest Iowa late this afternoon. Locally damaging\n    gusts or a brief/weak tornado cannot be ruled out.\n\n    DISCUSSION...Satellite imagery shows an MCV over north-central KS\n    and into south-central NE, while surface obs show a weak low near\n    Russell KS. East of this feature, a leading outflow extends from\n    just west of the NE/IA border southwestward toward the surface low.\n\n\n    A warming air mass with southerly winds and upper 60s F dewpoints is\n    aiding the development of thunderstorms near the boundary in\n    southeast NE and trailing into north-central KS. The 18Z OAX and TOP\n    soundings show high PWAT but poor lapse rates overall and lightly\n    veering winds with height.\n\n    As heating continues, the zone ahead of the MCV should continue to\n    see increased storm coverage and intensity. Low-level shear near the\n    modifying outflow and ahead of the MCV may increase later today,\n    possibly supporting isolated supercells. While deep-layer shear is\n    marginal, the very moist air mass combined with locally stronger 0-1\n    SRH may support a brief/weak tornado or two. Otherwise, marginal\n    hail or localized damaging gusts may occur.\n\n    ..Jewell/Mosier.. 06/04/2026\n\n    ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...\n\n    ATTN...WFO...DMX...EAX...OAX...TOP...ICT...GID...\n\n    LAT...LON   39749857 40039715 40429643 40859585 41649517 41729465\n                41269450 40229495 39749527 39369567 39059639 38959731\n                39079801 39249841 39529869 39749857\n\n    MOST PROBABLE PEAK TORNADO INTENSITY...UP TO 90 MPH\n    MOST PROBABLE PEAK WIND GUST...UP TO 60 MPH\n    MOST PROBABLE PEAK HAIL SIZE...UP TO 1.25 IN\n\n\n\nRead more",
