Valid 200343Z - 200445Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 672 continues. SUMMARY...Thunderstorm intensity continues to wane this evening as overall coverage of precipitation increases. The severe threat is not likely to recover and Severe Thunderstorm Watch #672 is likely to be canceled early. DISCUSSION...Ongoing showers and thunderstorms will continue across portions of northeast Kansas and northern Missouri this evening and into the morning hours. Despite a favorable thermodynamic environment, a cooling boundary layer, weakening lapse rates, and increasing widespread precipitation should limit the overall severe potential going forward. Evidence for this trend can be found in the overall slow warming of the convective complex cloud tops. Although brief gusty wind or perhaps small hail cannot be ruled out, Severe Thunderstorm Watch #672 is likely to be canceled early. ..Marsh.. 09/20/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
