CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 323...

VALID 302357Z - 310200Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 323
CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...SEVERE STORMS WILL PERSIST OVER KS...AND WILL CONTINUE TO
ORGANIZE AND MOVE S AND EWD EVENTUALLY AFFECTING SERN KS...SWRN
MO...NERN OK AND NWRN AR.

DISCUSSION...STORMS OVER CNTRL AND E CNTRL KS APPEAR TO BE MERGING
AND BECOMING BETTER DEFINED AS AN MCS. RECENT RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS
SOME ENHANCED AREAS OF OUTFLOW NEAR LYONS AND HEADING TOWARD
HUTCHINSON AND EVENTUALLY WICHITA. THIS SURGE MAY GROW
UPSCALE...EVENTUALLY ABSORBING THE SUPERCELL OVER BUTLER
COUNTY...AND CONTINUING SEWD WITH A WIND AND HAIL THREAT.

OTHER CELLS WERE CONSOLIDATING OVER WRN KS NEAR THE COLD FRONT. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO GROW UPSCALE AS IT
ENCOUNTERS VERY UNSTABLE AIR FROM DDC SWD INTO NWRN OK. LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE LIKELY.
