   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

   AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHEAST KS/WESTERN MO
   
   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE 
   
   VALID 080546Z - 080645Z
   
   MONITORING SHORT TERM CONVECTIVE TRENDS FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A NEW
   SEVERE TSTM WATCH ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST KS/WESTERN MO.
   PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS...WITH SEVERE HAIL/LOCALLY
   HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE AS WELL.
   
   AN ONGOING SEVERE MCS...CENTERED NEAR THE I-35 VICINITY BETWEEN
   EMPORIA AND TOPEKA AS OF 0545Z...APPEARS LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO
   SPREAD EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD OVERNIGHT ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
   KS/WESTERN MO. SUCH A SCENARIO WILL BE SUPPORTED BY AN EVIDENT COLD
   POOL ACROSS NORTHEAST KS...WITH FORWARD PROPAGATION AIDED BY A
   SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET ACROSS THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS.
   GIVEN THAT THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS MAY PERSIST ACROSS
   SOUTHEAST KS INTO MO...A SEVERE TSTM WATCH MAY BE NEEDED SOON.
