   AREAS AFFECTED...ERN CO...NW KS...SW NEB
   
   CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 293...
   
   VALID 110217Z - 110315Z
   
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 293 CONTINUES.
   
   A SEVERE THREAT WILL LIKELY CONTINUE ACROSS THE WRN PART OF WW 293
   WITH THE THREAT EVENTUALLY INCREASING ACROSS THE ERN PART OF THE
   WATCH LATE THIS EVENING. A FEW TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
   WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE MORE INTENSE CELLS.
   
   A CLUSTER OF SEVERE STORMS IN NE CO IS ONGOING ALONG THE WRN EDGE OF
   STRONG TO EXTREME INSTABILITY ACROSS FAR NE CO...NW KS AND SW NEB
   WITH OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS CURRENTLY SHOWING MLCAPE VALUES IN NW KS IN
   THE 4500 TO 5500 J/KG RANGE. THIS ALONG WITH 40 TO 50 KT OF 0-6 KM
   SHEAR SHOULD EASILY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SUPERCELLS LATE THIS EVENING
   INTO PART OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. A DOMINANT SUPERCELL NORTHEAST OF
   LIMON CO SHOULD PERSIST EWD INTO SW NEB AND MAY CONTINUE TO HAVE A
   POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES ESPECIALLY AS THE STORM ENCOUNTERS THE WRN
   EDGE OF A 35 TO 45 KT LOW-LEVEL JET. VERY LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE
   POSSIBLE WITH THIS CELL AND OTHER SUPERCELLS THAT DEVELOP DUE TO THE
   VERY STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES IN PLACE. EVENTUALLY...THE CLUSTER
   OF STORMS IN NE CO SHOULD BECOME AN MCS. IF A LINEAR STRUCTURE CAN
   ORGANIZE...THE WIND DAMAGE THREAT MAY INCREASE ACROSS THE ERN PART
   OF WW 293 LATE THIS EVENING AND A NEW WATCH OR LOCAL EXTENSION MAY
   BECOME NECESSARY.
