Areas affected...Southern Half of Kansas

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 236...

Valid 180324Z - 180530Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 236
continues.

SUMMARY...A wind damage and isolated large hail threat will continue
to move southward across the southern half of Kansas late this
evening. An isolated tornado will be possible, and some wind gusts
will likely exceed 65 knots.

DISCUSSION...High-resolution radar imagery from Topeka and Wichita
show a well-developed linear MCS draped east-to-west across central
Kansas. The MCS is moving southeastward into a strongly unstable
airmass, where MLCAPE is estimated by the RAP in the 2500 to 3500
J/kg range. This co*bined with an increasing 40 to 50 knot low-level
jet will provide strong support for continued development within the
MCS. At 0320Z, two bowing line segments where ongoing. One was
located in northeast Kansas to the west of Kansas City, and a second
was located in north-central Kansas near Salina. A swath of wind
damage will be likely with each of these line segments. The faster
moving bows will be capable of producing very strong wind gusts,
with some gusts of greater than 65 knots likely. The severe threat
should continue to be maintained as the linear MCS moves across
southern Kansas late this evening into the early overnight period.
