80-85 MPH thunderstorm winds around the Topeka/KC area, going to drop south later today.

SPC outlook doesn’t seem to be doing well so far. It’ll be interesting to see what they do with the next update, but the enhanced risk currently looks way too far west.

There really have been about 20-25 severe reports around Topeka, mostly wind, with a measured wind gust of 80mph. Kansas City may be getting high winds now, but there are no  reports of trees down next to Kansas City yet.

 

edit:

some severe reports are north and south of Kansas City, although the storm did go through town.

Archive radar indicates the stronger cells split to the north and south of the city.

Not anymore.

The eastern part of the complex has shown signs of weakening, and the stronger cells on the SW end of the complex have latched on to the N-S theta-e gradient through eastern KS and OK.

Yeah, that storm in EC Kansas is pretty impressive. I wonder how that outflow boundary from the other storms impacts things, it is moving south quickly.

This non-tornado warned supercell west of Omaha and northwest of Lincoln right now has 75dBz reflectivity and 1"-3.25" hail

I stayed far away from that hail core, but had a neat vantage point of structure to the south:

Thursday chase partner and I followed the tornado warned supercell in Kansas from inception to line-out. We always had good views of the wall cloud. Forgot what that's like, being away from the Plains for two years. It tried a couple times, but never could drop even a funnel. So @Chinook we gave it the old college (+20 lol) try.

Trip was not a total loss. Met up with some WxTwitter chasers whom we'd not met in person until Thursday. I also took a trip down memory lane through the University of Kansas campus and some places in Overland Park / KCMO. Friday was insta-line/blobs but good shelf clouds. Maybe we should have chased Hoosier Alley instead, but now we're back home in Tenn.

Your images don't seem to work (at least on my computer), but yeah not too often you see a 30% issued this far in advance during second severe season. 30% contour is a very defined area personally I'm a little surprised they are issuing something that specific this far out. I thought they'd keep the 15% through at least today.

Yes, the 30% area is dangerously close to me, I know an Aunt that lives in Ada, OK (Which is under the 30% risk)

And the General setup area for Sunday is along & east of I-35 & along & south of I-40

That doesn't really say a whole lot about whether there will be storms and of what mode.

Bulk Shear is looking good on both Sunday's & Next Tuesday's setup, CAPE is not very high, but it appears that this does not require a lot of CAPE for this:

Basically a classic setup for Next Tuesday?

An interesting fall severe weather setup. The kinematics are certainly going to be there, but the specific thermodynamic mix and surface features remain questionable. Certainly a beautiful upper-level system and a decent looking chance for at least two days of severe weather potential. Whether or not we end up with chaseable tornadic supercells before a mixed-bag of vomit thrown on the storm reports map (QLCS galore) will probably come down to the 'day of'.
