This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...south
central...southwest and west central Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Day 1 Discussion
----------------

Another day of severe thunderstorm activity is possible Thursday
afternoon and evening, affecting portions of southwest KS in two
separate scenarios. First, thunderstorms will develop across the
higher terrain of eastern CO and move southeast into southwest KS,
where the environment will be characterized by 2000+ J/Kg of
MLCAPE and 35-45 kts of 0-6km bulk shear. This activity will pose
mainly a large hail and damaging wind gust threat along and west
of a Scott City to Ashland line during the 21-02Z time frame.
Second, thunderstorms are expected to form over central and
western NE, and amalgamate into a south-southeast propagating MCS
that will affect portions of central KS after 01Z Friday.
Spatiotemporal discrepancies between CAM guidance renders
confidence in MCS timing and track low, and it is entirely
possible the thunderstorm complex stays east of our area. However,
the environment ahead of this MCS will be characterized by
2000-2500 J/Kg of MLCAPE and 40-50 kts of 0-6km bulk shear, which
would be supportive of mainly a damaging wind gust threat, given
the expected storm mode, for areas along and east of a Wakeeney to
Coldwater line.

Day 1 Hazards
-------------
* Non-thunderstorm wind: Limited risk
* Fire weather: Significant risk

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
