   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 400
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat will spread across central into eastern
   portions of ww0400 over the next several hours. Large hail and
   damaging winds remain possible.

   DISCUSSION...Convection that evolved over the High Plains of eastern
   CO has grown upscale as it spreads downstream. Latest radar data
   suggests a maturing MCS is now located over western KS with an
   apparent MCV over northwest Hodgeman County. Over the last hour or
   so, an east-west band of convection  has developed well ahead of the
   main complex and is beginning to intensify as far downstream as
   Chase County. Low-level warm advection will likely aid new
   development across southeast KS over the next few hours. Of more
   significance, a substantial precip shield has evolved over northwest
   KS and this may contribute to a surging squall line that is
   progressing across the DDC CWA. Severe winds have been noted with
   this convection across much of eastern CO into western KS. With time
   this band of convection may become oriented more north-south which
   would continue to favor very strong winds along the leading edge of
   this activity.
