    Areas affected...parts of northern and central Kansas

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

    Valid 052012Z - 052215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Convection developing over portions of north-central
    Kansas seems likely to increase in coverage over the next couple of
    hours, turning southeastward with time. WW may be required.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a small cluster of strong
    updrafts over the Phillips/Rooks County KS vicinity, northeast of
    the more cloudy/capped airmass that lingers across southwestern KS
    at this time. This convection is occurring within the gradient on
    the eastern fringe of the axis of greatest mixed-layer CAPE over
    western Kansas, but still within a thermodynamic environment
    sufficient to support severe potential -- mainly in the form of
    large hail.

    Various CAM runs differ with respect to convective evolution with
    time, and given effects of the prior/overnight MCS, uncertainty
    persists in the short term. Still, it appears likely that this
    cluster will gradually increase in coverage, and shift southeastward
    with time, on the northeastern fringe of the more capped
    environment. Given the amply veering/increasing flow field with
    height supporting potential for severe weather, watch issuance is
    being considered for portions of the central Kansas vicinity.

    Areas affected...portions of far northeast Texas into southwestern
    Arkansas and northern Louisiana

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 290...

    Valid 141712Z - 141845Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 290
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Upscale growth of ongoing storms into an intense bow echo
    is possible over the next few hours. Large hail and severe gusts are
    the main concern. A few 65+ kt gusts are possible and trends are
    being monitored for the development of a derecho-producing MCS.

    DISCUSSION...Supercells that have been traversing the Red River have
    shown signs of some upscale growth into a possible MCS. These storms
    show 60 kft tops, with a wide area of 50 dBZ echoes exceeding 40 kft
    per latest MRMS mosaic radar data. Latest satellite data also show a
    broadening area of rapidly cooling cloud tops. The ongoing storms
    are progressing east-southeastward along/just north of a diffuse
    baroclinic zone, with low/upper 80s F temperatures on the cool/warm
    side of the boundary. Along both sides, dewpoints are exceeding 75
    F. Mid-level lapse rates of 7.5+ C/km are overspreading this very
    moist low-level airmass over a long west-to-east corridor,
    supporting extreme instability (4500+ J/kg SBCAPE) far downstream of
    the upscale-growing convection. Coinciding this corridor of extreme
    buoyancy is very strong (65+ kts) effective bulk shear, with
    regional VADs and 16Z mesoanalysis showing hodographs that are
    modestly curved at the low levels and elongated above 3 km AGL.=20=20

    Potential exists for large hail (some 2+ inches in diameter) if the
    ongoing convection remains more cellular. If further upscale growth
    occurs, an intense bow echo, capable of widespread severe winds and
    some hurricane-force gusts, may develop and may set the stage for
    initiating a derecho-type event. However, the occurrence of a
    derecho is highly conditional on further upscale growth.
