   Areas affected...southwest KS to northwest OK

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 342...

   Valid 282222Z - 290015Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 342 continues.

   SUMMARY...The severe threat should persist within the southeast
   portion of WW 342 and extend into an initially confined downstream
   corridor in northwest OK and southwest KS.

   DISCUSSION...Scattered discrete cells across mainly southwest KS and
   adjacent portions of far southeast CO and the OK Panhandle have
   produced reports of significant severe hail. A localized corridor of
   greater tornado potential is apparent ahead of the ongoing dominant
   storms along the KS/OK border. Consensus of afternoon guidance
   indicates strengthening of the low-level jet over the next few hours
   across the ribbon of low 60s surface dew points present across the
   eastern Panhandles into western OK. This will enlarge low-level
   hodographs within the KS/OK border area and a tornado threat may
   commence. Otherwise, large hail will likely remain the primary
   hazard as cells gradually spread east-southeast. While overall
   tornado potential may be rather confined spatially, a downstream
   watch issuance is being considered.
