   Areas affected...southeast KS into northeast OK

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 60...

   Valid 240850Z - 241015Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 60
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Isolated hail up to 1 inch will remain possible through
   the early morning hours across parts of southeast Kansas and
   northeast Oklahoma.

   DISCUSSION...Clusters of strong thunderstorms will continue to shift
   eastward across southeast KS and northeast OK early this morning.
   The largest hail reported with these storms has been 0.75 inches in
   diameter in Sedgwick County KS about an hour ago. A 50 kt
   south/southwesterly low level jet will continue to spread northeast
   ahead of the cluster of convection across north-central
   OK/south-central KS, maintaining warm advection atop a surface warm
   front. Steep midlevel lapse rates and strong vertical shear in the
   presence of 500-1000 J/kg MUCAPE is more than adequate for sporadic
   intense cells capable of near-severe hail. However, storm mode is
   expected to continue to limit a more substantial hail threat. Severe
   Thunderstorm Watch 60 will continue across parts of southeast KS and
   northeast OK, but a downstream watch is not expected at this time.
