   SUMMARY...THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING MAY POSE A RISK FOR MARGINALLY
   SEVERE HAIL...AS WELL AS A FEW STRONG WIND GUSTS. HOWEVER...WW
   ISSUANCE IS NOT ANTICIPATED.

   DISCUSSION...THE LATEST VIS IMAGERY AND RADAR MOSAIC DEPICT FAIRLY
   ROBUST CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG A LINE FROM TODD COUNTY SD SWD
   TO FRONTIER COUNTY NEB. FORCING FOR ASCENT FROM A WEAK IMPULSE
   PROGRESSING NEWD ACROSS THE REGION...AS WELL AS ENHANCED SFC
   CONVERGENCE ALONG A TROUGH EXTENDING SWD FROM AN APPARENT MCV IN SRN
   SD...HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION/MAINTENANCE.
   ALTHOUGH MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE RATHER UNIMPRESSIVE...MOIST
   S/SELY FLOW AND DIURNAL HEATING HAVE YIELDED MLCAPE UPWARDS OF
   1500-2000 J/KG EARLY THIS EVENING. MOREOVER...RECENT KLNX VWP DATA
   DISPLAY NOTABLE VEERING WITH HEIGHT...AND 0-6-KM SHEAR OF AROUND
   30-35 KTS...SUITABLE FOR UPDRAFT ORGANIZATION IN THE STRONGEST
   CELLS. THUS...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A FEW STRONG WIND
   GUSTS/MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL REPORTS...WITH THE WIND THREAT ENHANCED
   BY ANY CELL MERGERS/COLD-POOL AMALGAMATION. HOWEVER...THE LACK OF
   STEEPER LAPSE RATES/STRONGER FLOW ALOFT SHOULD TEMPER THE OVERALL
   THREAT...PRECLUDING WW ISSUANCE.
