    Areas affected...portions of western into central Kansas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 359...361...

    Valid 210424Z - 210600Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 359, 361
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe gusts will remain a concern with the ongoing MCS
    for at least the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...A mature cold-pool-driven MCS continues to propagate
    southeastward across western into central KS, with several recent
    measured severe gusts noted. Recent KICT inbound velocity data shows
    that a pronounced rear-inflow jet persists with this MCS, as well as
    a book-end/line-end mesovortex on its northern flank. Furthermore,
    this MCS will continue to progress southeastward amid a highly
    sheared and buoyant airmass, characterized by 50 kts of effective
    bulk shear (oriented roughly normal to the MCS leading line) and
    2000+ J/kg MLCAPE, driven by 8+ C/km mid-level lapse rates. Given
    the highly organized storm structure and favorable ambient
    supporting environment, severe gusts will likely continue with this
    MCS for at least a few more hours.
