Areas affected...Northeastern Kansas

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 136...

Valid 060218Z - 060315Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 136
continues.

SUMMARY...The severe weather threat continues in severe thunderstorm
watch 136.

DISCUSSION...An outflow dominant line of thunderstorms continues to
move southward in northeast Kansas. These storms have been mostly
sub-severe as the outflow boundary is now well ahead of the storms.
Expect the severe threat to remain minimal from this activity as it
continues southward. The better chance for severe storms will be
from storms now in the western portion of watch 136 and from new
development south of the outflow boundary. The 00Z TOP RAOB showed
relatively weak instability with significant inhibition, however the
TWX VWP has shown a strengthening low-level jet in the last 30
minutes and this has proven sufficient for additional storm
development. Given the aforementioned weak instability, a widespread
severe threat is not anticipated, but a few strong to severe storms
are possible for the next few hours.
