   1108 PM CDT Sat May 23 2020

   Areas affected...Central Nebraska

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 213...

   Valid 240408Z - 240615Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 213
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A wind damage and isolated large hail threat will likely
   continue for a few more hours. An isolated tornado threat may also
   occur as well. Weather watch issuance will be possible to the east
   of the current watch in the next 2 to 3 hours.

   DISCUSSION...At the surface, a 998 mb low is located in southeast
   Colorado. A cold front is moving east-southeastward across western
   Nebraska. A continuous line segment is ongoing along the front. The
   line is moving into surface dewpoints in the lower 60s F where RAP
   is analyzing MLCAPE of 2000 to 2500 J/kg. This combined with 40 to
   45 kt of deep-layer shear, evident on Thedford, Nebraska WSR-88D
   VWP, will support a wind damage and hail threat with the stronger
   cells embedded in the line. Further to the east, a cluster of storms
   is ongoing to the west of Broken Bow, Nebraska. Supercells within
   this cluster will have an isolated large hail and wind damage
   threat. A brief tornado will also be possible. As these storms move
   northeastward toward the edge of WW 213, new weather watch issuance
   may need to be considered.
