   KS. VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THESE
   STORMS...AND THIS THREAT WILL LIKELY PERSIST DURING THE NEXT 2-3

   ONSET OF NOCTURNAL COOLING WILL RESULT IN A GRADUAL INCREASE IN
   CONVECTIVE INHIBITION...AND STORMS SHOULD BEGIN A WEAKENING TREND BY
   03Z. HOWEVER...THE STRENGTHENING LLJ MIGHT FOSTER THE MAINTENANCE OF
   ONE OR MORE STORM CLUSTERS INTO THE LATE EVENING...BUT IF THIS
   OCCURS PRIMARY THREAT WILL TRANSITION TO DAMAGING WIND.
