   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 182
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A wind-damage threat is expected to continue across parts
   of the lower to mid Missouri Valley tonight. A watch extension in
   area has been made for Cowley and Butler Counties in Kansas.
   However, the line is expected to become increasingly marginal over
   time, and new weather watch issuance is not expected to the east of
   WW 182.

   DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar from Hastings shows a
   large-scale bowing line segment across southeast Nebraska and
   north-central Kansas. This line of storms is located near a warm
   front, which extends east-southeastward into northern Missouri. From
   near and to the south of the front, surface dewpoints are in upper
   50s and lower 60s F, with MLCAPE is in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range.
   In addition, a shortwave trough is evident on water vapor imagery
   over central Kansas. Large-scale ascent associated with the
   shortwave and the instability will provide support for the ongoing
   linear MCS for a few more hours. Isolated damaging gusts will be
   possible along the leading edge of the MCS. However, as MLCIN
   strengthens across the central Plains and instability decreases, the
   wind-damage threat is expected to become more marginal with time.
