    Areas affected...Eastern Kansas...Northwest Missouri...Far Southeast Nebraska...Southern Iowa

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 131906Z - 132130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...A severe threat is likely to develop across northeast
    Kansas, northwest Missouri and southern Iowa over the next couple of
    hours. Large hail and wind damage will be the initial threat but a
    tornado threat is expected to eventually develop. Weather watch
    issuance will likely be needed across the region this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a 991 mb low over far
    southeast Nebraska with a cold front extending south-southwestward
    from the low into northeast and central Kansas. A dryline begins
    near the front in eastern Kansas and extends southward into northern
    Oklahoma. Thunderstorms are developing along the dryline in
    southeast Kansas with other cells initiating to the north of the low
    in the Omaha area. This convection is expected to increase in
    coverage as the cap weakens over the next hour or so. The storms
    should reach northwest Missouri and southwest Iowa by mid afternoon.

    Ahead of the storms, a corridor of low-level moisture is analyzed
    from far southeast Kansas northward into far northwest Missouri
    where surface dewpoints are in the lower to mid 60s F. The RAP is
    showing MLCAPE values from eastern Kansas into far southwest Iowa in
    the 2000 to 2500 J/kg range. In addition, forecast soundings
    steadily increase deep-layer shear along the instability corridor
    through late this afternoon. 0-6 km shear should reach the 40 to 50
    kt range which will be favorable for supercell development. The
    instability, shear and steep mid-level lapse rates will be support
    large hail formation with the stronger updrafts. Damaging wind gusts
    will also be likely as storm organize. As deep-layer shear and
    low-level shear increase later this afternoon, a tornado threat will
    also likely develop.

    Areas affected...Portions of southeast TX and southwestern LA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 251710Z - 251945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated large hail and gusty wind threat should exist
    this afternoon. Watch issuance is unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...A surface cold front is located over southeast TX and
    southwestern LA this afternoon based on recent surface observations
    and visible satellite imagery. A thunderstorm has gradually
    strengthened along the front near the TX/LA border where diurnal
    heating has encouraged MLCAPE around 1000 J/kg to develop per recent mesoanalysis estimates. Low-level flow across this region remains
    generally weak, with the LCH and HGX VWPs showing westerly winds of
    25 kt or less in the lowest 3 km AGL. But, mid to upper-level
    westerly winds do strengthen with height, and 35-40 kt of effective
    bulk shear should be enough to support some updraft organization.
    Additional thunderstorms will probably develop this afternoon along
    the front and move east-southeastward. Isolated large hail may occur
    due to the strong uni-directional flow present above 3 km and some
    modest steepening of mid-level lapse rates. Gusty downdraft winds
    may occur as well where low-level lapse rates become steepened. With
    the large-scale ascent expected to remain minimal across this
    region, thunderstorm coverage and related severe threat will
    probably remain too isolated to justify watch issuance.
