   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 346...347...

   Valid 090810Z - 091015Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 346, 347
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A wind-damage and hail threat will continue for several
   more hours as a linear MCS moves southeastward across eastern Kansas
   and into western Missouri.

   DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows a well-developed
   bowing line segment moving southeastward around 45 knots through
   northeast Kansas. Convection also extends northwestward across
   northern Kansas into far southern Nebraska. These storms are located
   on the northern edge of moderate instability in a very moist airmass
   with surface dewpoints in the lower 70s F. The line of strong to
   severe storms is supported by a 40 to 50 kt low-level jet which is
   analyzed by the RAP from the Texas Panhandle northeastward into
   western and central Kansas. The low-level jet and instability will
   help to continue to maintain intensity with the MCS for several more
   hours. As the linear MCS moves southeastward across the remainder of
   eastern Kansas and into western Missouri, wind damage will be likely
   along the leading edge of the system as it tracks
   south-southeastward along a gradient of instability. Hail will also
   occur with the stronger cells embedded in the line. An isolated hail
   threat will also be possible northwestward across northern Kansas as
   well.
