   Areas affected...eastern Kansas and western Missouri

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 090402Z - 090530Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...A bowing cluster will continue east/southeastward with a
   risk for severe gusts and a couple of tornadoes into the overnight
   hours. A new Watch will be issued downstream.

   DISCUSSION...An intense bowing complex over central KS with a
   history of significant wind damage is expected to continue
   east/southeastward this evening and overnight. Numerous reports of
   measured severe winds, damage, and observed radar velocities
   indicate this complex remains very strong. A large reservoir of
   buoyancy (MUCAPE 3000-4000 J/kg) remains in place over eastern KS,
   weakening into western MO. This should maintain the threat for
   damaging gusts with these strong storms for a few more hours
   tonight. Strong low-level shear could also support a couple of QLCS
   tornadoes.

   Current CAM trends eventually show weakening later tonight as the
   complex is forecast to move into weaker buoyancy and increasing
   nocturnal inhibition along the KS/MO border. However, the strength
   of the cold pool and radar observed rear inflow jet suggest this
   will take several hours. A threat for damaging gusts and QLCS
   tornadoes will likely continue for some time tonight. A Watch
   downstream from WW290 will be issued for portions of eastern KS and
   western MO in the next hour.
