AREAS AFFECTED...NRN OK/S CENTRAL AND SERN KS

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 284...

VALID 032338Z - 040115Z

SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES ACROSS PARTS OF SRN KS/NRN OK.

CLUSTER OF STRONG/SEVERE STORMS CONTINUES MOVING EWD OUT OF FAR SERN
KS INTO SWRN MO/WW 282.  MEANWHILE...NEW STORMS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO
FORM ACROSS WW 284...LIKELY DUE IN PART TO CAPPED BOUNDARY LAYER AS
A RESULT OF SHORT-WAVE RIDGING/SUBSIDENCE ACROSS THIS REGION. 
HOWEVER...WEAK/SUBTLE SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO NWRN OK ATTM
APPEARS TO BE AGITATING CU FIELD ACROSS N CENTRAL AND NWRN OK --
INCLUDING A NEW RADAR ECHO OVER NWRN BLAINE COUNTY OK JUST S OF COLD
FRONT. THOUGH IT APPEARS ATTM THAT GREATER THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS
WILL OCCUR LATER TONIGHT AS UVV ASSOCIATED WITH APPROACHING/LARGER
UPPER TROUGH SPREADS INTO THIS REGION...MORE SUBTLE VORT MAX MAY
CONTRIBUTE TO A LOCAL INCREASE IN SEVERE THREAT NEAR FRONT OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
