So far, this "outbreak" has not been as significant as I had expected, although there have been several fast-moving supercells in central Kansas. These low-topped (mini) supercells generally do not produce strong, long-lived tornadoes, though. That's fine with me, as I'm sure it is with those who are in the path of the storms.
Still, the threat exists for severe weather throughout the region, and NE Kansas is about to come under the gun. The SPC is planning on issuing a Tornado Watch for E Kansas and NW Missouri soon. The main threat, according to SPC forecasters, is for large hail and damaging winds, although embedded tornadoes are possible.
The sun has tried to peak out from behind the clouds a few times in the past 2 hours, but the skies remain primarily overcast, and the temperature is at 84. If the sun had been out for the past two hours and the temperature had jumped, conditions would have been much worse.
