THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF 

       A SMALL PART OF SOUTHEAST KANSAS

EFFECTIVE THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT FROM 810 PM UNTIL MIDNIGHT CDT.

HAIL TO 2.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 70
MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS.

THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 25
STATUTE MILES NORTH AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM 15 MILES SOUTH
SOUTHWEST OF EMPORIA KANSAS TO 25 MILES NORTHEAST OF CHANUTE
KANSAS.  FOR A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED
WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4).

REMEMBER...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND OCCASIONALLY
DO PRODUCE TORNADOES.

DISCUSSION...SUPERCELLS WILL LIKELY PERSIST ALONG THE EXTREME SRN
FRINGE OF WW 113...BUT REMAIN JUST TO THE S OF THE PREVIOUS WATCH. 
THE RISK FOR LARGE HAIL WILL PERSIST IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUFFICIENT
VERTICAL SHEAR AND MODERATE INSTABILITY.  A BRIEF TORNADO CANNOT BE
RULED OUT GIVEN A SLIGHT INCREASE IN LOW-LEVEL SHEAR THIS
EVENING...BUT GRADUAL STABILIZATION OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL
OFFSET THIS RISK.

AVIATION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT
TO 2.5 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 60
KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 500. MEAN STORM
