   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

     Southwestern Iowa
     Central to northeastern Kansas
     Northwestern Missouri
     East-central and southeastern Nebraska

   * Effective this Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning from
     530 PM until 100 AM CDT.

   SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop in the next
   couple hours near the western end of the watch and move roughly
   eastward while increasing in coverage through the evening.  Large to
   isolated very large hail is possible early, while the severe-gust
   threat increases into evening.  A tornado or two also is possible --
   mainly over a part of the watch across northeastern KS, near an
   outflow boundary.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 90
   statute miles east and west of a line from 30 miles south southeast
   of Manhattan KS to 35 miles north northeast of Omaha NE. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU2).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
   weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
   warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
   tornadoes.

   &&

   AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
   2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
   few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector
