    Mesoscale Discussion 1220

    0942 PM CDT Sat Jun 20 2026

    Areas affected...portions of west-central into southern Kansas...the
    extreme northeastern Texas Panhandle...and far northern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 210242Z - 210345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...A downstream Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance is being
    considered.

    DISCUSSION...A mature cold-pool-driven MCS continues to produce
    measured severe gusts across western KS. Both NEXRAD single-site and
    MRMS mosaic radar data have shown an uptick in the organization and
    intensity of the MCS, with a somewhat increased southeasterly
    propagation speed and a well defined rear inflow jet. Given residual
    1500-3000 J/kg MLCAPE and 40-50 kts of effective bulk shear ahead of
    this MCS, it is plausible that the accompanying wind swath may
    potentially cross into far northern OK. As such, a downstream Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance will probably be needed given a
    persisting strong MCS structure with accompanying measured severe
    gusts.
