Areas affected...parts of northeast KS into far southeast
NE/northwest MO

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

Valid 261624Z - 261800Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...A threat for hail and localized strong/damaging gusts may
spread eastward into early afternoon.

DISCUSSION...Elevated convection has recently intensified across
central KS. A subtle midlevel shortwave trough and downstream heating/moistening may help to sustain this storm cluster as it
moves eastward into early afternoon. In the short-term, with MUCAPE
approaching 1000 J/kg and effective shear of 40+ kt, the strongest
elevated cores will be capable of producing isolated hail, and
perhaps locally gusty winds. If sufficient downstream
heating/destabilization occurs, this cluster could eventually become
rooted closer to the surface as it approaches northeast KS, which
would result in an increasing threat of damaging wind and possibly a
brief tornado, in addition to continued hail potential. Watch
issuance is possible if trends support intensification of this
cluster into the early afternoon.
