   Areas affected...southern Kansas and northwest/central/northern
   Oklahoma.

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 694...

   Valid 302045Z - 302215Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 694 continues.

   SUMMARY...The large hail/severe wind threat is expected to continue
   through the afternoon as supercells move across northwest Oklahoma
   and into southern Kansas. The tornado threat is expected to increase
   this evening.

   DISCUSSION...Supercells have developed along the dryline in western
   Oklahoma. Thus far, one measured wind gust of 70 mph has been
   observed with MRMS MESH suggesting around 1 to 1.25 inch hail. As
   these supercells mature, expect the threat for large hail and severe
   wind gusts to continue. Low-level shear is quite weak this afternoon
   (60-70 m2/s2 0-500 SRH per VNX VWP), but is forecast to increase
   substantially after 22-23Z as the low-level jet strengthens. During
   this time is when the greatest tornado threat is anticipated.
   Eventually, expect storms to congeal into a squall line with severe
   wind and a few embedded QLCS tornadoes as the primary threat.
