    Areas affected...southeast Kansas into northern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 136...

    Valid 232350Z - 240215Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 136 continues.

    SUMMARY...Supercells producing very large hail and a few tornadoes
    is most probable over northern Oklahoma into southeast Kansas next
    few hours.

    DISCUSSION...Storms along the dryline have consolidated into a
    substantial supercell near the OK/KS border recently, within the
    instability axis. Just north of Wichita, the cold front is pushing
    south and invigorating convection there as well, although the mode
    has become linear. Meanwhile, visible satellite shows possible new
    developing extending even farther southwest along the dryline into
    OK, west of Enid.

    The greatest severe risk including tornadoes and large hail will
    likely peak from now through the next couple hours while the
    boundary layer is warmest. Though the low-level jet will increase
    this evening, the cooling surface temperatures and surging cold
    front will eventually result in linear storm mode, with damaging
    gusts possible. Until then, the cells ahead of the cold front will
    continue to pose a periodic tornado and hail risk.
