Areas affected...Northern Oklahoma...southeast Kansas...and far
western MIssouri

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76...

Valid 180049Z - 180215Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76
continues.

SUMMARY...Continued upscale growth of ongoing convection will lead
to additional severe weather into the overnight hours. The best
chance for damaging winds will be along the Kansas/Oklahoma border.

DISCUSSION...Earlier convection has now grown into a convective
complex in northwestern Oklahoma extending into south central
Kansas. The Oklahoma mesonet shows evidence of a developing cold
pool with upper 50 temperatures across much of northwest Oklahoma.
This cold pool is expected to surge eastward through the evening and
will likely produce a bowing area of damaging winds somewhere along
the Kansas/Oklahoma border. The higher wind damage threat is
expected to start to organize somewhere near Ponca City and extend
east northeastward along and just south of the location of the
front.

Outside of this area, convection along the front in east central
Kansas and convection extending southward from the expected bowing
segment will be capable of producing large hail and damaging winds
through the evening and into the early overnight. Storms are
expected to stay mostly north of I-40 in Oklahoma, but additional
storm development on the southern edge of this line could
necessitate the addition of a watch for a few more counties south of
severe thunderstorm watch 76.
