   Areas affected...Southeast CO...Eastern OK/TX Panhandle...Southwest
   KS...Northwest OK

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 369...371...

   Valid 150224Z - 150430Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 369, 371
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat is increasing across the south-central High
   Plains.

   DISCUSSION...Two separate linear MCSs, each about 75 miles long,
   have evolved over the south-central High Plains this evening. This
   activity initially struggled a bit, but each MCS appears to be
   ingesting more buoyant air, with storm-top venting much more robust
   over the last hour. Measured severe wind gusts have been noted with
   the southern-most squall line, and severe gusts are also likely
   occurring across southeastern CO as well. Over the next few hours,
   LLJ will increase markedly over western OK which should encourage
   eastward propagation north of the synoptic front. Damaging winds
   remain the primary threat.
