   THE THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL IS
   EXPECTED TO INCREASE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EVENING.  CONVECTIVE
   TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED FOR A POSSIBLE WW.
   
   TSTMS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BECOME SUSTAINED S OF GCK /HASKELL COUNTY/
   AS OF 2045Z WITHIN A HOT AND RELATIVELY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER WITH
   MLCAPE OF 1500-2000 J/KG.  THIS ACTIVITY APPEARS TO BE ASSOCIATED
   WITH A WEAK MIDLEVEL IMPULSE LIFTING NNEWD FROM THE SRN INTO CNTRL
   HIGH PLAINS.  CURRENT HAVILAND KS PROFILER INDICATES A NOTABLE
   STRENGTHENING TO WIND FIELDS ABOVE 5 KM AGL WHICH IS LIKELY
   ASSOCIATED WITH ABOVE-MENTIONED IMPULSE.  RESULTANT DEEP-LAYER SHEAR
   HAS INCREASED TO 35-40 KT WHICH MAY SUPPORT SOME STORM ORGANIZATION.
   DAMAGING WIND GUSTS APPEAR TO BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER
   THREAT...ESPECIALLY SHOULD A CLUSTER OF STORMS DEVELOP.  SOME HAIL
   WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY STRONGER UPDRAFTS.
