National Weather Force is predicting a severe weather event for the Central United States, centering Kansas on Monday May 6, 2024, which will include all modes of severe weather from tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and flooding.
Discussion: During the later afternoon and early evening hours, a dryline will set up across West Central Kansas. This dryline will be the focal point to ignite severe thunderstorms along it, stretching from Nebraska and into Northern Oklahoma. I do not think Oklahoma will see much further south than the northern part of the state due to the fact of a lack of low-level moisture. This should make area around Pratt as the target zone for the supercell storms to produce tornadoes, within a zone stretching from Wakita, Oklahoma northward through to about Ellsworth.
Initially, storms will start out as discrete, which will be where the highest chance of a tornado will be maximized, most likely the western half of the magenta shade within the map in this article. A cold-front will sweep in through the later evening hours as the storms march eastwards, which will merge into more of a linear event of embedded tornadoes through Central and Eastern Kansas, including Wichita.
Select cities within the highest risk of tornadoes: Pratt, Stafford, Great Bend, Ellsworth, Lyons, Hutchinson, Newton, Wichita, Anthony, and Kingman, Kansas.
Cities to the east across the eastern half of Kansas will get the cold-front sweeping through during the overnight hours.
Cities such as: Manhattan, Holton, Topeka, Kansas City, Ottawa, Paola, Emporia, Garnett, Burlington, Eureka, El Dorado, and Winfield, Kansas.
So, prepare for a severe weather event, capable of tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and flooding.
