   Areas affected...Central/Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 270030Z - 270230Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...Storms have formed along an east/west surface boundary
   stretching across central/eastern Kansas into western Missouri.
   Hail/strong wind gusts are the main threats, but brief tornadoes are
   possible.

   DISCUSSION...The atmosphere has destabilized across portions of
   Kansas/Missouri during the last few hours in the wake of a MCS.
   Moderate-strong buoyancy (MLCAPE 1500-3000 J/kg) and shear
   (effective bulk shear of 35-55 knots) indicate a conducive
   environment for strong/severe storm development. Farther to the
   west, the storms are most likely surface-based and interacting with
   a remnant outflow boundary, which is where brief tornadoes are
   possible across Butler/Elk/Greenwood counties. Severe hail/wind are
   also possible with these storms as they slowly build/track to the
   south/southeast. Storms should diminish after sunset. However, there
   is a possibility of upscale organization that would let storms
   continue through the evening. If this occurs, a watch may be needed.
