   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of

   SUMMARY...Storms are growing into a larger line along a cold front
   moving into southwest South Dakota and the Nebraska Panhandle.  This

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75
   statute miles east and west of a line from 5 miles northeast of
   Pierre SD to 60 miles southwest of North Platte NE. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
