    Areas affected...Northwest Oklahoma into central Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 232145Z - 232345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms will continue to pose an isolated
    severe wind and hail risk through the early evening hours. This
    threat should generally remain sufficiently localized to preclude
    watch issuance, but a watch is possible if a more focus corridor of
    severe thunderstorms becomes apparent.

    DISCUSSION...Over the past two hours, scattered convection has
    developed along and ahead of a weak cold front from northeast KS
    into far northeast NM. Despite a very buoyant air mass ahead of the
    front (characterized by MLCAPE values upwards of 2000-3000 J/kg),
    stronger flow aloft remains largely displaced to the northwest
    behind the front. This is limiting deep-layer wind shear to around
    20-25 knots for much of the region, which should favor a mix of
    loosely organized cells/clusters with occasionally robust updrafts
    and/or outflow. Recent convective trends bear this out with only
    sporadic reports of large hail and severe gusts emanating from
    mostly transient convection. While isolated instances of severe hail
    and/or severe winds will remain possible across a broad region, the
    meager deep-layer shear and scattered nature of the convection
    limits confidence in a more widespread severe threat. Nonetheless,
    this environment could support a somewhat more organized cluster or
    two with a more focused severe wind threat if sufficient cold pool
    amalgamation can occur. While this does not appear imminent,
    convective trends will continue to be monitored and watch issuance
    is possible if this scenario begins to emerge.
