Areas affected...Parts of central/eastern KS

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 182217Z - 190015Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe gusts and hail are possible into
early evening.

DISCUSSION...A small storm cluster that developed near the OK/KS
border is propagating northeastward along an expanding outflow late
this afternoon, with additional storm initiation noted into parts of east-central KS. A weak MCV is moving across the region, and may
help to sustain scattered thunderstorms through the early evening.=20

Storms approaching Wichita have a history of producing golf-ball
sized hail and localized severe gusts. While deep-layer flow is
relatively weak, modest veering with height is supporting effective
shear of 20-30 kt, sufficient for at least transient storm
organization in the presence of strong buoyancy (MLCAPE of greater
than 3000 J/kg). The most likely hazard into early evening may be
strong to severe gusts along the northeastward-moving outflow across south-central KS, and also with localized downbursts associated with
the more discrete storms. However, isolated hail cannot be ruled out
given the magnitude of buoyancy.
