   Areas affected...portions of eastern Nebraska

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 140...

   Valid 262014Z - 262115Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 140 continues.

   SUMMARY...Well-developed supercells are moving into an environment
   very favorable for tornadoes. A corridor of heightened risk for
   significant tornadoes is emerging across eastern/southeastern NE.

   DISCUSSION...Ongoing storms across southeastern NE have rapidly
   evolved into well-organized supercells over the past few hours. The
   environment ahead of these storms is becoming increasingly favorable
   for significant tornadoes near the modifying warm front over the
   NE/IA border. ESRH of 300 m2/s2 and STP values of 2-3 from SPC
   mesoanalysis indicate the environment could support strong (EF2-EF3)
   tornadoes with these organized supercells. Current radar data shows
   storm motions of 215-225 deg at 30-35 kt. This would place these
   storms near or just west of the Omaha metro in the next 60-90
   minutes.
