SPC has higlighted a MODT Risk of severe storms, with emphasis on long-tracked tornadoes, in their 1630 UTC outlook, across portions of Western KS, and adjacent areas of CO and NE.  A SLGT Risk extends along a progged dryline into Western Oklahoma.  Concerns for the southern target include cap strength and weaker low-level shear.  Plans are to conduct a ProbWarn IOP for the KS area, unless storms develop in Western Oklahoma, where instead we’d conduct PAR operations, since there haven’t been live PAR operations yet this week.
