    Areas affected...Portions of Oklahoma and southeast Kansas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 133...

    Valid 300358Z - 300530Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 133
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Potential for isolated severe gusts and a few instances of
    large hail continues across Watch 133.

    DISCUSSION...Two distinct clusters of convective activity are
    ongoing late this evening. The first is primarily anchored by a
    semi-discrete HP supercell over Kiowa Co. KFDR VWP data indicate a
    wind profile favorable for continued rotation, such that
    southeastward motion may persist with this cell. Indeed, mid-level
    KFDR data periodically highlight robust updraft features, such as a
    stout ZDR column and BWER. In turn, a threat for isolated large hail
    and severe wind gusts may persist for perhaps another hour or so
    near the southern edge of Watch 133. Over time, convective
    inhibition should become too great for maintenance of the severe
    threat, though.

    Farther north, a collection of embedded supercells and small linear
    segments is making steady eastward progress over northern Oklahoma
    and southern Kansas. A recent uptick in linear structure has been
    noted over southeastern Kansas, and these cells will pose a
    localized threat for damaging winds, before the low-level
    thermodynamic environment becomes too hostile to maintain this
    threat (generally towards the KS/MO border). To the south,
    convection also appears to be organizing into mainly
    outflow-dominant cells. A residual boundary layer (characterized by
    dry air just above a thin, cooling surface layer) will likely
    maintain some damaging wind threat over the next few hours. However,
    the threat should diminish late tonight, as the low-level jet veers
    and cells move into a less favorable thermodynamic environment
    farther east.
