THUNDERSTORM CHCS RMN FCST CONCERN THROUGH TUE WITH TEMPS THE MAIN
CHALLENGE ON WED.  WENT WITH ETA/AVN BLEND THIS FCST PD.

SHORT TERM...AT 20Z WRMFNT WAS ESTIMATED NR AN ANW-OLU-FNB LINE WITH
SECOND BNDRY FM FSD VCNTY TO NR VTN/CDR AND N-S REMNANTS OF OLD
OUTFLOW NR MO RVR.  WITH CLOUD ELEMENTS INCREASING NR INTERSECTIONS
OF BNDRYS NW OF FCST AREA...AND A FEW LTG STRIKES SHOWG UP IN
SD...FEEL THIS AREA WILL BE THE FIRST TO SEE DEVELOPMENT NR OAX
CWA.  MESOETA RMND FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN DVLPG MCS NCNTRL NEBR AND
DROPG PCPN AREA SE THIS EVENING.  THIS LOOKS PLAUSIBLE AND THUS WILL
KEEP THE FAIRLY HIGH POPS GOING.  FIRST MCS COULD WEAKEN AS IT MOVS
TWD/INTO SERN NEBR SO WL KEEP A LTL LOWER POPS IN THAT LOCATION.
THEN 2ND AREA OF CONVECTION COULD DVLP FAR NERN NEBR LATER TNGT
SIMILAR TO LAST NGT AND DROP TWD ECNTRL ZONES BY TUE MORNING.  PREV
FCST LOWS LOOK GOOD.

FOR TUE...OUTFLOW COULD CONTAMINATE SCENARIO...BUT BELIEVE FNT WL
WORK SLOWLY SE ACRS FCST AREA SETTING UP IN SERN NEBR BY LATE AFTN.
ETA'S INSTABILITY FCST IS HIGH WITH OVR 4000 J/KG CAPE AND 0-6KM
SHEAR BULLSEYE MOVG ACRS FCST AREA.  IF TSTMS DO DVLP IT COULD BE
QUITE ACTIVE.  SO...PREV FCST OF RELATIVELY HIGH POPS LOOK GOOD AS
DO TEMPS.

SOME QUESTION TO HOW FAR S FNT WL MOV...IF IT DOES...TUE NGT/WED AS
UPR RDG RMNS NRLY STATIONARY.  ATTM WILL COUNT ON ENOUGH CONVECTION
TO PUSH IT SE OF NERN NEBR BY WED AND LEAVE NRN 1/2 OF CWA DRY ON
WED.  WL CONT SMALL POPS POPS ACROSS THE S.  WITH ERLY SFC FLOW
COOLER AVN MAV TEMPS LOOK A LTL BTR THAN NGM.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
710 PM CDT MON JUL 2 2001

STORM SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL PROBABLY BE REQUIRED ACROSS PARTS OF
EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
ACTIVATION IS MOST LIKELY THROUGH MIDNIGHT ALONG AND NORTH OF A
LINE FROM ALBION TO FREMONT AND RED OAK IOWA.

A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT CURVED FROM WESTERN NEBRASKA TO THE
NORTHEAST PART OF THE STATE...THEN INTO WESTERN IOWA EARLY MONDAY
EVENING.  LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WAS POOLING ALONG AND NORTH OF THE
FRONT.  THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD OCCUR ALONG THE FRONT AND THEN MOVE
EAST OR SOUTHEAST.  THE COMBINATION OF SHEAR AND INSTABILITY
SUGGEST THAT THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME ORGANIZED WITH A THREAT
OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.  THE MAIN THREAT IS EXPECTED TO
SHIFT MORE TOWARD HEAVY RAIN LATE TONIGHT.
