   ELEVATED CONVECTION HAS GRADUALLY BEEN INCREASING ACROSS SERN
   KS/NERN OK.  THIS ACTIVITY IS LIKELY ROOTED NEAR 700-750MB WITH A
   WLY STORM INFLOW AND STEEP LAPSE RATES EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE TO
   ADDITIONAL UPDRAFTS/TSTMS OVER SCNTRL/SERN KS.  CURRENT THINKING IS
   HAIL WILL BE GENERATED WITH THE STRONGEST UPDRAFTS...SOME OF IT
   APPROACHING OR EVEN EXCEEDING SEVERE LEVELS AT TIMES. 
   HOWEVER...WITH UPDRAFTS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ROOTED AT RELATIVELY HIGH
   LEVELS IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED THAT SEVERE HAIL WILL BE WIDESPREAD
   ENOUGH TO WARRANT A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH.
