until 400 AM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
mph possible
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
inches in diameter possible
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms should continue to pose a threat for large
hail around 1-2 inches in diameter and severe/damaging winds up to
60-75 mph this evening and overnight as they move southeastward. The
severe wind threat will be greatest where thunderstorms can congeal
into a bowing cluster, which already appears to be underway across
north-central Nebraska.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70
statute miles north and south of a line from 30 miles west of Broken
Bow NE to 50 miles east of Grand Island NE. For a complete depiction
of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS

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.
