Areas affected...northeast KS...northwest into northern MO

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 080434Z - 080630Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Several strong to severe thunderstorms are possible during
the overnight.  Hail/wind are the threats with these storms.

DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows a couple of thunderstorm clusters
developing over the lower MO Valley.  A residual co*posite boundary
is draped farther south over east-central KS into west-central MO as
evident by streamline analysis.  The airmass over the lower MO
Valley is characterized as very moist (17 g/kg lowest 100 mb mean
mixing ratio) according to the 00 UTC Topeka, KS raob.
Non-negligible low-level warm air advection is implied by KEAX VAD
data.  Given the moderate buoyancy and modest low- to mid-level
flow, some potential for organized severe thunderstorms is beco*ing
increasingly apparent.  Based on the Topeka raob, it seems the upper
bound of hail potential will likely remain in the marginally severe
category (1.0-1.5 inches in diameter) or less.  Isolated severe
gusts will be possible with the more water-loaded cores as storms
congeal and intermittently surge to the east-southeast.  It is
uncertain at this time whether the coverage of severe will warrant a
severe thunderstorm watch.  Convective trends will be monitored.
