   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 200
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The potential for a tornado will continue from along the
   Sheridan/Decatur County line into the Norton/Graham County line.
   Downstream backing winds and temperature/dewpoint increases are
   supportive.

   DISCUSSION...A tornado has been confirmed near Selden, KS with a
   supercell that has had relatively persistent 50-60 kt rotational
   velocity on KGLD 0.5 degree velocity. The environment ahead of the
   storm is expected to continue to support tornadic potential as winds
   at Hill City and Norton have backed to east-southeast and
   strengthened. Temperatures and dewpoints have also risen slightly. A
   complicating factor could be developing convection in the inflow
   region of the storm, now evident in Graham County. This could
   potentially reduce tornado potential quicker than expected.
