   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0637 PM CST Thu Mar 07 2024

   Areas affected...northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 30...

   Valid 080037Z - 080200Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 30
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat continues within WW30. Isolated tornado
   potential near the OK/KS border.

   DISCUSSION...Storm activity is ongoing across northern Oklahoma into
   southern Kansas along an eastward advancing dry line and warm front
   draped across southern Kansas. Two supercells located along surface
   warm front have shown better organization as they move eastward into
   dew points in the upper 50s. A narrow corridor near the warm front
   may support risk of an isolated tornado before storms cross to the
   cool side of the boundary, given enhanced vorticity along the front.
   Further west along the dry line, storms will likely cluster and
   attempt to grow up scale as the cold front moves east eventually
   overtaking the dry line. The main threats will likely be wind and
   hail with the linear storm modes.
