MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0512
  NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
  0442 PM CDT MON MAY 10 2010
 
  AREAS AFFECTED...SRN/ERN KS...MUCH OF OK...SWRN MO...NWRN AR
 
  CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 147...148...
 
  VALID 102142Z - 102245Z
 
  THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 147...148...CONTINUES.
 
  ...NEW TORNADO WATCH WILL BE ISSUED SOON FOR PORTIONS OF SERN
  KS...SWRN MO...NERN OK...NWRN AR...
 
  RAPID BOUNDARY LAYER RECOVERY IS UNDERWAY ACROSS SCNTRL KS INTO NERN
  OK AHEAD OF SFC LOW ALONG THE KS/OK BORDER WEST OF PNC.  FOCUSED
  PRESSURE FALLS ARE NOTED JUST AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WITH 2 HOUR
  FALLS ON THE ORDER OF 4-7MB.  NEEDLESS TO SAY SHEAR AND
  THERMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS ARE UNUSUALLY STRONG AND VERY SUPPORTIVE OF
  VIOLENT TORNADIC SUPERCELLS.  LATEST RADAR TRENDS SUGGEST EARLIER
  ISOLATED ACTIVITY IS NOW MORE CONCENTRATED AND FOCUSED ALONG SURGING
  DRYLINE WITH AT LEAST HALF A DOZEN STRONG TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING
  SUPERCELLS...A FEW WITH POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES...FROM
  KINGMAN COUNTY KS...ARCING TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST OF OKC IN SWRN
  OKLAHOMA.
 
  LATEST THINKING IS SPEED/MOVEMENT OF CURRENT ACTIVITY WILL REQUIRE
  AN ADDITIONAL TORNADO WATCH TO BE ISSUED OVER SERN KS/SWRN MO/NERN
  OK/NWRN AR SHORTLY.
