1003 PM CDT FRI APR 23 2010

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF EAST CENTRAL-NERN KS INTO WRN MO

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 240303Z - 240330Z

NEW WATCH MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS PARTS OF EAST-CENTRAL AND NERN KS
INTO WRN-NWRN MO.

02Z SURFACE AND STREAMLINE ANALYSES INDICATED A LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE ZONE/BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM ERN NEB SSEWD THROUGH FAR
ERN KS TO NERN OK...WHILE A SYNOPTIC WARM FRONT EXTENDED FROM SERN
NEB THROUGH NRN MO TO CENTRAL/SRN IL. LIGHTNING DATA/ COOLING CLOUD
TOPS PER SATELLITE IMAGERY OVER CENTRAL-SERN KS IS SUGGESTIVE OF
APPARENT LARGE SCALE ASCENT SPREADING NNEWD THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT
INTO DISCUSSION AREA. CORRIDOR OF MODERATE INSTABILITY EXTENDED
FROM ERN NEB INTO FAR ERN KS AND NWRN-WRN MO WITH EFFECTIVE BULK
SHEAR IN EXCESS OF 45 KT. THIS ENVIRONMENT IS MORE THAN CONDUCIVE
FOR ORGANIZED STORMS. CURRENT THINKING SUGGESTS ONGOING STORMS OVER
SERN KS MAY INCREASE IN INTENSITY ONCE THEY REACH THE STRONGER
INSTABILITY OVER ERN KS/NWRN MO. ADDITIONAL ISOLATED STORMS SHOULD
ALSO CONTINUE DEVELOPING ALONG THE WARM FRONT IN NWRN MO TO SERN NEB
AS DEEP LAYER ASCENT SPREADS NNEWD FROM CENTRAL-SERN KS.
