    Areas affected...Northeast Kansas into northwest Missouri

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 230120Z - 230315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A few strong/severe thunderstorms are possible this
    evening. Hail is the primary risk.

    DISCUSSION...Water-vapor imagery suggests a weak, low amplitude
    short-wave trough is located over the central Plains. This feature
    is translating east and may provide some encouragement for isolated
    convective development along/near a frontal zone that currently
    extends from south of CNK-north of STJ. 00z sounding from TOP
    exhibited very steep lapse rates, but notable capping was evident
    near 2km, and surface-based convection may struggle to develop as
    nocturnal cooling increases. However, large-scale ascent ahead of
    the short wave may cool/moist mid levels such that an elevated
    parcel is more likely to freely convect over the next few hours.
    This activity could briefly attain severe levels, but
    longevity/coverage may not warrant a severe thunderstorm watch.
