    Mesoscale Discussion 2029
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0230 PM CST Wed Dec 15 2021

    Areas affected...Portions of eastern NE and northeastern KS

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 563...

    Valid 152030Z - 152200Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 563 continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat for a few tornadoes and widespread severe winds
    of 60-85+ mph will spread east-northeastward across parts of eastern
    Nebraska and northeastern KS through 4 PM CST.

    DISCUSSION...A line of storms has quickly developed early this
    afternoon across portions of north-central KS into south-central NE.
    Multiple measured wind gusts of 60-85 mph have been recorded across
    this region as the line moved through. 20Z mesoanalysis shows a
    narrow corridor of 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE preceding the line across northeastern KS into southeastern NE with minimal convective
    inhibition noted due to the pronounced large-scale ascent preceding
    a shortwave trough ejecting over the central Plains. A recent VWP
    from KUEX shows a rapid increase in southwesterly flow in the 0-2 km
    layer, with winds quickly increasing to around 70-80 kt just 1 km
    AGL. Potential for these enhanced winds to reach the surface in
    convective downdrafts will remain high in the short term across
    northeastern KS and eastern NE as the line races east-northeastward
    across this area around 50-60 kt. Widespread severe/damaging winds
    of 60-85 mph will likely be the primary severe threat, with some
    potential for even higher gusts given the strength of the low-level
    flow. A few tornadoes with circulations embedded within the line
    will also be a continued threat with the enhanced low-level shear
    present (effective SRH around 200-300 m2/s2). A couple of these
    circulations have already been observed in south-central NE, with at
    least one CC minimum (likely TDS).
