    Areas affected...extreme northern Oklahoma across south-central into east-central Kansas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 34...

    Valid 110039Z - 110245Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 34
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A corridor of damaging hail and wind potential is evident
    along the boundary into south-central and eastern Kansas.

    DISCUSSION...Cells continue to evolve out of northwest OK and now
    approaching the Wichita area. These storms are riding along the boundary/instability gradient, where shear and instability remain
    very favorable for damaging hail. Upstream over central OK, the 00Z
    OUN sounding showed 2500 J/kg MLCAPE along with strong mid to high
    level winds with elongated hodograph. Similar wind profiles exist
    into southern KS, and the low-level jet this evening will maintain a
    flow of instability into these storms. An eventual tornado risk may
    develop over southeast KS as well later this evening with any
    additional discrete development ahead of the existing bows.
