   Areas affected...Northeast Kansas into Southeast Nebraska

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 190...

   Valid 070106Z - 070230Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 190 continues.

   SUMMARY...A multi-faceted severe threat continues across northeast
   Kansas into southeast Nebraska. Damaging winds and tornadoes will be
   the main hazards. Some discrete activity is still ongoing and will
   pose the greatest tornado threat this evening as well as
   large/very-large hail.

   DISCUSSION...A linear segment northwest of Topeka is moving
   northeast. This activity is likely to be the focus for wind damage
   potential over the next 1-3 hours. Manhattan ASOS observed a 52 kt
   wind gust as the line passed. KTWX also showed embedded circulations
   within this line. Given the environment observed on the KTWX VAD and
   the observed 00Z TOP sounding, the potential for tornadoes will
   continue even with linear storm modes. Additionally, discrete storms
   are ongoing southwest of the linear segment. These storms will
   similarly pose a threat for tornadoes (potentially strong) as well
   as a threat for large/very-large hail. There is shower/weak
   thunderstorm activity south of Topeka that may eventually mature.
   These storms would likely be discrete initially and should be
   monitored over the next few hours.
