    Areas affected...Far Southern Kansas...Oklahoma Panhandle...Northern
    Texas Panhandle...Northwest Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 032219Z - 040015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe wind gusts and hail will be possible with the
    stronger cells in a cluster over the Oklahoma Panhandle and far
    southern Kansas early this evening. The threat is expected to be too
    isolated for weather watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis shows a 1007 mb low over the
    western Oklahoma Panhandle, with an axis of low-level convergence
    located to the east of the low from the northern Texas Panhandle
    into far southwest Kansas. Along this axis, the RAP has MLCAPE in
    the 3000 to 4000 J/kg range, which will fuel the convection for a
    few more hours. The surface temperature dewpoint spread at Liberal,
    Kansas is 50 degrees F suggesting that the storms are very high
    based. In spite of this, the steep low-level lapse rates could be
    enough for isolated severe wind gusts. The cluster of storms may
    move slowly eastward over the next hour or two, and could eventually
    affect parts of northwest Oklahoma later this evening.
