  "textContent": "MD 0981 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN KANSAS INTO FAR SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND NORTHWESTERN MISSOURI\n\n\n\n\n    Mesoscale Discussion 0981\n    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK\n    0511 PM CDT Thu Jun 04 2026\n\n    Areas affected...portions of northeastern Kansas into far southeast\n    Nebraska and Northwestern Missouri\n\n    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely\n\n    Valid 042211Z - 042345Z\n\n    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent\n\n    SUMMARY...Increasing storm coverage and some organization has been\n    noted with several cluster of thunderstorms over north-central KS in\n    the last hour. This trend may continue with organization into a\n    bowing cluster with a locally enhanced risk for damaging gusts and a\n    couple of tornadoes.\n\n    DISCUSSION...As of 22 UTC, regional visible and radar imagery showed\n    an increase in convective coverage associated with an MCV and\n    remnant outflow boundary near the KS/NE border. Several stronger\n    clusters have emerged this afternoon, with the strongest over\n    Marshall, Clay and Riley Counties in KS. This cluster has shown some\n    organization, despite limited vertical shear, with a bowing\n    structure and a recent reports of damage and a funnel cloud. If it\n    can remain near or on the warmer side of the boundary, this segment\n    may continue to organize as it interacts with the boundary where\n    local convergence is stronger. This may support a locally enhanced\n    corridor of damaging wind and brief tornado potential from northeast\n    KS into northwestern MO this evening.\n\n    Additional convective development is ongoing on the southern flank\n    of this cluster into central KS, which may support further upscale\n    growth or a supercell or two. While deep-layer shear remains quite\n    limited, the very moist air mass combined with locally stronger 0-1\n    SRH may support a brief/weak tornado hail or damaging gusts. An\n    increase in the low-level jet this evening may allow for some\n    organization or potential with any more persistent clusters this\n    evening.\n\n    ..Lyons/Guyer.. 06/04/2026\n\n    ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...\n\n    ATTN...WFO...EAX...OAX...TOP...ICT...\n\n    LAT...LON   38439661 38379702 38719734 39209724 40029696 40429548\n                40559495 40539451 40379409 39959412 39229468 38659559\n                38439661\n\n    MOST PROBABLE PEAK TORNADO INTENSITY...UP TO 90 MPH\n    MOST PROBABLE PEAK WIND GUST...55-70 MPH\n    MOST PROBABLE PEAK HAIL SIZE...1.00-1.75 IN\n\n\n\nRead more",
