   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 343
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   250 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2019

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Extreme northeast Colorado
     Northwest Kansas
     Central and southwest Nebraska

   * Effective this Saturday afternoon and evening from 250 PM until
     1000 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5

     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development is likely in the next couple of
   hours along a cold front from central Nebraska to northeast Colorado
   and northwest Kansas.  The storm environment will initially support
   supercells capable of producing isolated very large hail, while
   storm mergers could lead to cluster development with a greater
   damaging wind threat this evening.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70
   statute miles east and west of a line from 25 miles north northwest
   of Broken Bow NE to 45 miles south of Goodland KS. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
   (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening

   tornadoes.
