Areas affected...northeast Oklahoma into southeastern Kansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 132331Z - 140100Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Conditional severe risk through the next couple of hours.

DISCUSSION...Towering cu can be observed near the dryline across
northeastern Oklahoma as of 23z. Convective initiation within this
region has be subdued by a strong mid-level capping inversion in
place much of the afternoon. Surface objective analysis would
indicate some weakening of the mid-level capping north of the I-40
corridor, further supported in cumulus fields across eastern Osage
County and Pottawatomie/Lincoln County. Low level moisture remains
limited, which is likely leading to very high cloud bases. Should a
thunderstorm develop, the main threats would be for isolated large
hail and gusty winds. Nonetheless, upper-level support is increasing
across the Oklahoma/Kansas border this evening. Overall, confidence
in thunderstorm development remains low and a watch is unlikely to
be needed.
