    Areas affected...portions of eastern Kansas and northwestern
    Missouri

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 252009Z - 252215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A few damaging gusts and a few brief tornadoes are
    possible this afternoon across parts of eastern Kansas and
    northwestern Missouri. A watch may be needed.

    DISCUSSION...An MCV is currently situated over north central Kansas,
    with an outflow/differential heating boundary across parts of
    southeastern Kansas. Due to daytime heating, particularly south of
    the boundary, along with surface dewpoints generally in the low to
    mid 70s F, inhibition has been removed across the region. There is
    some enhanced flow aloft round the MCV, which has provided ~30 kts
    of effective bulk shear. Low-level shear is generally fairly weak,
    though there is some enhancement in the weak easterly flow north of
    the differential heating boundary. Given modest deep-layer shear,
    multicell clusters with transient supercells are possible through
    the afternoon, and any supercells would carry a risk of a brief
    tornado, particularly where low-level shear is locally enhanced.
    However, overall weak low-level flow and poor lapse rates may limit
    the tornado threat. In addition, the atmosphere is quite moist, and
    the water loading in downdrafts may lead to a risk for damaging
    gusts as cell cluster with time. Trends are being monitored for a
    possible watch.
