    Areas affected...much of western Kansas into southeast Colorado

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 271815Z - 272045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A few severe storms may develop this afternoon near the
    front from southeast Colorado into parts of western Kansas, with
    large hail the primary threat.

    DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows low pressure over southwest KS,
    with a dryline near the OK/TX Panhandle border. A prominent surface
    front stretches from southeast CO across west-central KS, with a few
    storms already near the central to northeast KS portion of the
    front.

    Substantial storms are ongoing from northwest OK into south-central
    KS near ICT, and this activity has produced outflow which is
    affecting destabilization over central KS currently. However,
    further heating will likely lead to sufficient instability to
    support a few severe storms capable of hail. Northeast surface winds
    north of the front will further aid deep-layer shear, and
    potentially support left-moving storms with hail potential.
