   Areas affected...Portions of eastern Kansas and western Missouri

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 292...

   Valid 090602Z - 090730Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 292
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A corridor of stronger wind gusts will likely impact
   portions of the KC Metro area in the over the next 1-2 hours.

   DISCUSSION...Radar velocity data from KEAX shows a strong rear
   inflow jet associated with a mesovortex in the Topeka/Lawrence
   vicinity. This feature will continue to track slightly north of east
   into portions of the KC Metro area. Measured wind gusts have been
   less intense over the past hour than earlier in the evening, though
   a 60 mph gust was recently measured in Edgerton, KS. MLCAPE does
   gradually decline with eastward extent. That said, the strength of
   the MCS will likely keep some potential for strong to severe wind
   gusts which could produce damage at least for another hour or two.

   Farther south, the line of convection has been slower moving and not
   as intense. There remains some potential for isolated stronger wind
   gusts and associated damage given how warm and moist the airmass
   remains even to this point in the evening.
