    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 361...362...

    Valid 210736Z - 210930Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 361, 362
    continues.

    SUMMARY...An isolated threat severe wind gusts and hail may continue
    across parts of southern and eastern Kansas early this morning. The
    threat may also impact far northern Oklahoma and far western
    Missouri.

    DISCUSSION...An MCS is ongoing across much of Kansas, along the
    northern edge of a moist and unstable airmass. Moderate instability
    is analyzed ahead of and to the south of the MCS with the RAP
    showing MLCAPE from 1000 J/kg in eastern Kansas to 2500 J/kg in
    north-central Oklahoma. The instability, along with large-scale
    ascent associated with a mid-level shortwave trough over the=20
    central Plains, will continue to support the MCS for much of the
    morning. Regional WSR-88D VWPs in northeast Oklahoma and
    south-central Kansas have 0-6 km shear in the 35 to 40 knot range
    suggesting that the stronger embedded cells could be supercellular
    and have some severe potential. Hail will be possible with
    supercells. Severe wind gusts will likely be concentrated along
    short bowing line segments. Recently, the MCS has become less
    organized. This trend could continue as inhibition increases,
    resulting in a more isolated and marginal severe threat with time.
