Areas affected...much of central Kansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 032312Z - 040145Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are likely to develop this
evening, and a few may become marginally severe with a hail or wind
threat.

DISCUSSION...Visible imagery shows TCU developing near a surface
trough from southwest KS into northwest MO, ahead of the primary
cold front which is rapidly approaching from the north. MLCAPE of up
to 2000 J/kg has developed from south central KS into IA, and winds
veer with height and may support a few cells capable of hail or
locally damaging wind gusts. 

Storms are first expected to form within the pre-frontal trough
where temperatures are hot, and then may increase in coverage
further as the cold front interacts with the unstable air mass,
especially from northeast KS into northern MO. Any severe threat
will be maximized during the first few hours after development, with
decreasing intensity during the late evening.
