   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 126...

   Valid 030326Z - 030500Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 126
   continues.

   SUMMARY...An isolated strong to severe wind gust threat will
   continue in the short term, but storms should slowly weaken as they
   move eastward.

   DISCUSSION...Multiple measured severe wind gusts have occurred in
   the past couple of hours with a squall line moving eastward across
   central KS. Recent radar trends have shown a gradual weakening of
   the line, particularly across south-central KS where outflow has
   surged well ahead of reflectivity. Still, isolated strong to severe
   wind gusts will remain possible for the next hour or two as the line
   continues eastward across parts of central KS. Current expectations
   are for this activity to gradually weaken beyond 05Z as it moves
   into eastern KS and encounters a less unstable airmass with
   increasing convective inhibition. Accordingly, downstream watch
   issuance is not anticipated at this time, but a small extension in
   area of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 126 cannot be ruled out if
   convective trends warrant.
