    Areas affected...Portions of northeast KS into western MO

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 124...

    Valid 180700Z - 180830Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 124
    continues.

    SUMMARY...An isolated severe hail and gusty wind threat continues
    early this morning.

    DISCUSSION...Ascent associated with a 40-50 kt south-southwesterly
    low-level jet noted on KTWX VWP will continue to support elevated
    supercell potential early this morning across parts of northeast KS
    and western MO. The primary supercell of interest at the moment near
    Topeka KS is north of a surface warm front over east-central KS.
    This thunderstorm should remain elevated in the short term while
    progressing eastward towards the Kansas City metro. Given adequate
    MUCAPE and around 40 kt of deep-layer shear, isolated supercells
    across this area should continue to pose a threat for mainly large
    hail of 1-2 inches in diameter. But, some chance for strong/gusty
    winds around 50-60 mph may also be realized, as the depth of the
    near-surface stable layer does not appear prohibitively deep in RAP
    forecast soundings.
