statute miles north and south of a line from 20 miles southwest of
Garden City KS to 20 miles north of Topeka KS. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update

favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
