    Areas affected...North-central/northeast Kansas...southeast
    Nebraska...far southwest Iowa...far Northwest Missouri

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 292051Z - 292245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered storms may develop in the
    next 1-3 hours. Large hail and damaging winds would be the primary
    threats.

    DISCUSSION...Tied to a lead shortwave trough in the central Plains,
    cumulus have been deepening along a dryline in central Kansas.
    Despite somewhat limited moisture (dewpoints in the upper 50s F),
    surface heating and forcing from the trough may promote storm
    initiation within the next 1-3 hours. Steep mid-level lapse rates
    and 40-45 kts of effective shear orthogonal to the dryline would
    promote discrete storms capable of large hail and strong/damaging
    winds. Low-level hodograph curvature is sufficient for some
    low-level rotation and potentially a brief tornado, but a generally
    dry boundary layer will likely limit that threat.
