SUMMARY...A moderately unstable and strongly sheared environment

KS. Thunderstorm development is underway within this airmass, and
the development of a few supercell appears likely. Large to isolated
very large hail is the primary severe hazard, with a few strong
downdrafts possible as well. Given the supercell storm mode and
presence of surface boundaries, a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.

statute miles east and west of a line from 35 miles west northwest
of Medicine Lodge KS to 30 miles east southeast of Borger TX. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8).
