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.
