    Areas affected...northeast Oklahoma into southeastern Kansas

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

    Valid 132331Z - 140100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Conditional severe risk through the next couple of hours.

    DISCUSSION...Towering cu can be observed near the dryline across
    northeastern Oklahoma as of 23z. Convective initiation within this
    region has be subdued by a strong mid-level capping inversion in
    place much of the afternoon. Surface objective analysis would
    indicate some weakening of the mid-level capping north of the I-40
    corridor, further supported in cumulus fields across eastern Osage
    County and Pottawatomie/Lincoln County. Low level moisture remains
    limited, which is likely leading to very high cloud bases. Should a thunderstorm develop, the main threats would be for isolated large
    hail and gusty winds. Nonetheless, upper-level support is increasing
    across the Oklahoma/Kansas border this evening. Overall, confidence
    in thunderstorm development remains low and a watch is unlikely to
    be needed.
