    Areas affected...southeastern Colorado/southwestern Kansas south to
    eastern New Mexico and the South Plains of Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 363...

    Valid 232249Z - 240045Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 363
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Isolated storms continue to pose a risk for large hail and
    damaging winds across the western half of the WW, with potential for
    a tornado increasing over southwestern Kansas.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows isolated severe storms in two
    small clusters -- one over southeastern Colorado, and the other
    across western parts of the Texas South Plains. With the storms on
    the western fringe of the main, north-south axis of instability that
    ranges up to 3000 to 3500 J/kg CAPE, expect the storms to maintain intensity/organization as they shift gradually eastward.

    Along with risk for large hail and locally damaging wind gusts, risk
    for a tornado or two is evident across parts of southwestern Kansas.
    While the airmass here remains weakly capped with eastward extent,
    storms moving into this region out of eastern Colorado will likely
    maintain intensity as they encounter the more moist/strongly
    unstable airmass. With the DDC WSR-88D VWP showing low-level
    southerly flow around 20 kt veering to westerly at around 2km AGL,
    shear appears sufficient to support low-level rotation.
