   AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL THROUGH ERN KS INTO EXTREME SRN NEB
   
   CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 360...362...
   
   VALID 250226Z - 250330Z
   
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 360...362...CONTINUES.
   
   PRIMARY THREAT HAS TRANSITIONED TO DAMAGING WIND ACROSS REMAINING
   PARTS OF WW 362 AND 360 FOR ERN KS. HOWEVER... A COUPLE OF TORNADOES
   REMAIN POSSIBLE NEXT HOUR OR TWO.
   
   STORMS HAVE EVOLVED INTO MOSTLY LINEAR MODE AND EXTEND FROM A MESO
   LOW NEAR CONCORDIA KS SWD TO NEAR WICHITA. THE CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW
   BOUNDARY IS SURGING SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF THE RAIN CORES...INDICATING
   ACTIVITY HAS BECOME OUTFLOW DOMINANT WITH DAMAGING WIND THE PRIMARY
   THREAT. WIDESPREAD CONVECTION IS STABILIZING THE BOUNDARY LAYER
   ACROSS ERN KS...AND THIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH NOCTURNAL COOLING
   SHOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON FUTURE INTENSITY OF THE
   LINE. IN THE MEANTIME...STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES WILL CONTINUE
   TO SUPPORT POTENTIAL FOR EMBEDDED SUPERCELL AND BOWING SEGMENTS
   WITHIN A MARGINALLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT.
   
   FARTHER NORTH INTO SRN NEB...STORMS APPEAR POORLY ORGANIZED AND
   ELEVATED...SUGGESTING SEVERE THREAT IS SOMEWHAT MARGINAL IN NEB.
