    Areas affected...Parts of northern OK into south-central/southeast
    KS

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 14...

    Valid 060731Z - 060930Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 14
    continues.

    SUMMARY...At least a localized severe threat may continue through
    the early morning hours.

    DISCUSSION...An earlier tornadic supercell has recently weakened
    east of Wichita, due to increasing CINH and decreasing low-level
    moisture quality with northeastward extent. Farther southwest, a
    small bowing segment has evolved from an earlier supercell cluster
    across north-central OK. The nocturnal increase in CINH should
    eventually lead to a weakening trend with this cluster as well, but
    given its current level of organization and very strong low-level
    flow noted on the KVNX and KICT VWPs, localized severe gusts and
    perhaps a brief tornado may accompany this cluster as it moves into south-central KS. Gusty to locally severe winds will also continue
    to be possible with this cluster even if it begins to decay.=20

    Otherwise, the environment remains conditionally favorable for
    supercells, but increasing low-level stability should tend to
    mitigate this threat with time. However, some threat for hail and/or
    a brief tornado cannot be ruled out if any additional supercells can
    evolve within the ongoing convection.
