   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 247...

   Valid 040554Z - 040730Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 247
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A line of storms may remain capable of producing strong to
   severe winds for the next several hours. New watch issuance into
   parts of southeastern KS and southwestern MO is possible.

   DISCUSSION...A well developed squall line is ongoing across
   northeastern KS and vicinity at 0550Z, moving quickly southeastward
   around 45-50 kt. Enhanced southwesterly winds of 30-40 kt in the 0-1
   km layer per KICT/KEAX radars are supporting a continued feed of
   low-level moisture ahead of the line. Even with some convective
   inhibition owing to nocturnal cooling of the boundary layer, at
   least a  moderately unstable airmass downstream of this ongoing
   convection (MLCAPE 2000-3000 J/kg) should support the potential for
   strong to severe wind gusts as the line approaches the Kansas City
   metro area in the next hour or so. Recent back-building has also
   occurred into parts of southeastern KS. Depending on short-term
   observational trends, a new Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed
   for parts of southeastern KS into southwestern MO.
