Areas affected...Western and central Nebraska/Kansas border

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 032231Z - 040000Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Large hail and damaging winds are possible as storms
continue south-southeastward near the Kansas/Nebraska border. Though
low, a tornado could also occur with stronger, discrete storms. A
watch is possible within the next 1-2 hours.

DISCUSSION...Surface moisture continues to return into southern
Nebraska. Convection in the vicinity of North Platte has deepened
over the last 30 minutes as result. With an expected increase in
low-level southerly winds over the next few hours, low 50s F
dewpoints will likely push into southern Nebraska ahead of the
approaching cold front. Convection that can mature will likely be
sustained by the low-level jet. Large hail and damaging winds will
likely be the primary threats. Surface dewpoint depressions are
enough that the tornado threat should remain low. However, low-level
hodograph curvature will increase this evening and discrete storms
near the theta-e gradient will pose some tornado risk. A watch is
possible within the next 1-2 hours.
