   AREAS AFFECTED...S-CNTRL NEB...N-CNTRL KS

   CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 462...

   VALID 180157Z - 180300Z

   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 462
   CONTINUES.

   SUMMARY...GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL EXIST WITH
   THE SSE-MOVING CLUSTER PUSHING S OF THE I-80 CORRIDOR. CONVECTION
   SHOULD PERSIST BEYOND 03Z SCHEDULED WW EXPIRATION WITH A RISK FOR
   ISOLATED SEVERE WIND GUSTS...BUT AN OVERALL WEAKENING TREND IS
   ANTICIPATED.

   DISCUSSION...NE PORTION OF AN MCS OVER S-CNTRL NEB HAS RAPIDLY
   WEAKENED NEAR THE GID/LBF/OAX CWA BORDER AREA. THESE APPEARS TO BE A
   RESULT OF INCREASING MLCIN AS SURFACE COOLING HAS ENSUED BENEATH
   WARM NOSES BETWEEN 800-700 MB AS SAMPLED BY DOWNSTREAM 00Z RAOBS AT
   OAX/TOP. THE THRUST OF THE CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW HAS BECOME
   INCREASINGLY CONFINED IN AREAL EXTENT AND SHOULD PUSH S/SE INTO
   N-CNTRL KS DURING THE NEXT HOUR. OBSERVED WIND GUSTS WITHIN THE LINE
   HAVE LARGELY RANGED FROM 35-45 KT ACROSS SEVERAL ASOS/AWOS
   STATIONS...EXCEPT FOR A RECENT WIND GUST TO 72 KT AT KHSI.
   STILL...LONG-TERM TREND SHOULD BE COLLAPSING MID-LEVEL REFLECTIVITY
   CORES...THE RISK FOR SEVERE WIND GUSTS SHOULD BECOME INCREASINGLY
   ISOLATED.
