The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

and sustained multicells can be expected, with storms likely to

become more numerous by early evening. Damaging winds and large hail

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.



The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 65

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).



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.

Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening

weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible

warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce

tornadoes.

AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to

2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
