   Areas affected...eastern Kansas and western/central Missouri

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 64...67...

   Valid 012228Z - 020000Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 64, 67 continues.

   SUMMARY...Numerous supercells are expected this evening with large
   to very large hail likely. The tornado threat will increase near and
   after sunset.

   DISCUSSION...A mature supercell has developed in southeast Kansas
   with hail up to golf ball sized reported. Additional supercells have
   started to develop along the warm front in central Missouri. MLCAPE
   of 1200 to 1500 J/kg and effective shear in excess of 70 knots (per
   SGF VWP) will support large to very large hail with any storms. SPC
   mesoanalysis shows STP around 1 to 1.5 at 22Z and the WoFs suggest
   STP around 3 by 00Z as the low-level jet strengthens. Therefore,
   expect a gradual increase in tornado intensity through the evening.
