   Areas affected...Eastern KS/Western MO

   Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely 

   Valid 272131Z - 272230Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...Tornado watch is warranted for eastern Kansas and western
   Missouri.

   DISCUSSION...Northeast-southwest oriented corridor of severe
   convection extends across southeast KS into north-central OK.
   Supercells are embedded along this zone which is gradually lifting
   northeast into a modestly buoyant and strongly sheared environment.
   LLJ is forecast to increase across eastern OK into southwest MO
   later this evening which will encourage this complex to
   spread/develop downstream. While some clustering is evident,
   supercells will likely be embedded/maintained given the strong
   shear. Tornadoes remain a distinct possibility along with large
   hail.
