Areas affected...Portions of central Kansas

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 583...

Valid 010000Z - 010100Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 583
continues.

SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm
Watch 583, with a focused favorable corridor for large hail and
severe winds over parts of central KS.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar data from DDC shows an intense
semi-discrete supercell southwest of Hays, KS -- at the intersection
of an outflow boundary and north/south-oriented confluence zone.
This focused area of mesoscale ascent should support the maintenance
of this supercell for another hour or so as it tracks along the
boundary. Around 30 kt of effective shear oriented parallel to the
boundary may support some localized upscale growth, while moderate
surface-based instability favors continued intensity. Large hail (up
to around 2 inches) and severe gusts to around 75 mph are the
primary concerns.
