   Mesoscale Discussion 1165
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

   Areas affected...South-central Nebraska

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 100609Z - 100845Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...An isolated wind damage threat will likely continue for 1
   to 2 hours across south-central Nebraska. The threat is expected to
   remain too localized and short-lived for weather watch issuance.

   DISCUSSION...A small cluster of strong to severe is evident on radar
   imagery to the east of North Platte, Nebraska. The strongest cell in
   this cluster generated a wind gust of 76 kt over the last hour. The
   cluster is located near the eastern edge of moderate instability as
   is analyzed by the RAP. For this reason, the cluster may turn more
   southeastward and move more closely parallel to the instability
   gradient. The North Platte WSR-88D VWP is sampling the rear inflow
   jet with this feature showing 50 kt of west-northwest flow near 4 to
   5 km above ground level. This may enable to cluster to continue to
   produce damaging wind gusts for awhile longer. However, as the
   storms interact with weakening instability, the threat should remain
   isolated and appears likely to decrease. Weather watch issuance is
   not expected.
