    Areas affected...portions of western Oklahoma...south-central Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 222025Z - 222230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Damaging wind and severe hail risk to increase through the afternoon/evening.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm activity has initiated and expected to
    continue to form along the dryline across the Texas Panhandle this
    afternoon. Additional thunderstorm development is expected across
    the frontal boundary draped across western/central Kansas into the
    Oklahoma Panhandle. Ahead of this development, the air mass across
    western Oklahoma into central/eastern Kansas has been suppressed
    owing to weak forcing and stout MLCIN most of the afternoon.
    Temperatures are warming, with MLCIN eroding west to east across the
    Texas Panhandle as temperatures have climbed into the 80s. Aloft
    sounding analysis indicates, steep lapse rates and ample CAPE above
    the 850 mb inversion.

    Thunderstorm activity will gradually shift into this region by late afternoon/evening. A mix of multi-cell clusters and embedded
    supercells capable of large hail and damaging wind are expected. A
    watch will likely be needed in the coming hours to cover this risk.
