    Areas affected...Eastern Kansas...western Missouri...northeast
    Oklahoma and adjacent northwest Arkansas

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 402...

    Valid 091631Z - 091800Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 402 continues.

    SUMMARY...Increasing thunderstorm development expected through 2-4
    PM CDT, accompanied by a risk for tornadoes and localized damaging
    wind gusts. A new watch may become necessary within the next hour
    or two.

    DISCUSSION...A narrow line of convection with embedded
    thunderstorms, within the warm sector of the developing surface low,
    continues to advance northeastward around 30-35 kt. Activity will
    spread northeast of the watch within the next hour or two.

    The surface low, currently near the Kansas/Oklahoma border to the
    south of Wichita, continues to slowly deepen, and is forecast to
    migrate north/northeastward toward the Salina KS vicinity through
    19-21Z. As it does, strongest southerly 850 mb flow (in excess of
    40 kt) appears likely to develop northward across much of eastern
    Kansas and adjacent western Missouri.

    This will be accompanied by enlargement of low-level hodographs,
    particularly along a remnant convectively generated boundary that
    appears roughly aligned with the Interstate 35 corridor. Although
    cloud cover and rain is slowing destabilization along this corridor,
    breaks in overcast coupled with further gradual boundary layer
    moistening should allow for increasing boundary layer instability
    through mid to late afternoon. As it does, the environment may
    become increasingly conducive to the development of low-level
    mesocyclones within strengthening convection, accompanied by a risk
    for tornadoes and localized damaging wind gusts.
