Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 301...

Valid 250059Z - 250200Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 301
continues.

SUMMARY...Large to very large hail and severe gusts are likely
through 9pm CDT with a severe thunderstorm cluster approaching
Greensburg/Dodge City.

DISCUSSION...The 7pm CDT Dodge City observed sounding showed dry
adiabatic lapse rates (9.8 degrees C/km in the 0-3 km layer) and an
inverted-v structure in the deep/well-mixed boundary layer.  Around
1000 J/kg MLCAPE was sampled.  Southerly low-level flow veers to
westerly and northwesterly in the mid to upper levels and is
resulting in around 35-40 kt effective shear.  As the surface
temperatures gradually cool this evening, convective inhibition will
slowly increase.  However, the steep lapse rates immediately above
the cooling near-surface layer will still favor ample evaporative
cooling with the stronger downdraft pulses.  Severe gusts 60-75 mph
are possible before this activity likely weakens during the late
evening hours (roughly 10pm onward).
