are the primary risks, although there is a possibility that some

tornado risk could materialize later this afternoon/early evening

particularly for storms interacting with the remnant boundaries.

statute miles north and south of a line from 30 miles west southwest

of Hutchinson KS to 25 miles east of Knob Noster MO. For a complete

depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update

(WOUS64 KWNS WOU4).

tornadoes.
