Areas affected...Northeast Kansas into Southeast Nebraska

Concerning...Tornado Watch 190...

Valid 070106Z - 070230Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 190 continues.

SUMMARY...A multi-faceted severe threat continues across northeast
Kansas into southeast Nebraska. Damaging winds and tornadoes will be
the main hazards. Some discrete activity is still ongoing and will
pose the greatest tornado threat this evening as well as
large/very-large hail.

DISCUSSION...A linear segment northwest of Topeka is moving
northeast. This activity is likely to be the focus for wind damage
potential over the next 1-3 hours. Manhattan ASOS observed a 52 kt
wind gust as the line passed. KTWX also showed embedded circulations
within this line. Given the environment observed on the KTWX VAD and
the observed 00Z TOP sounding, the potential for tornadoes will
continue even with linear storm modes. Additionally, discrete storms
are ongoing southwest of the linear segment. These storms will
similarly pose a threat for tornadoes (potentially strong) as well
as a threat for large/very-large hail. There is shower/weak
thunderstorm activity south of Topeka that may eventually mature.
These storms would likely be discrete initially and should be
monitored over the next few hours.
