HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
545 PM CDT MON MAY 5 2003

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PARTS OF EASTERN NEBRASKA
AND SOUTHWEST IOWA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND TUESDAY

SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY MOVE ACROSS
NORTHEAST NEBRASKA THIS EVENING. THE STORMS SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY
NORTH OF THE PLATTE RIVER AND PROBABLY EVEN NORTH OF COLUMBUS.
THE ACTIVITY COULD EVEN MAKE IT INTO PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL IOWA
BEFORE DIMINISHING. NO SEVERE WEATHER OR SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED FROM THESE STORMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY

ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS COULD MOVE BACK INTO THE REGION
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS THEN CONTINUES INTO
SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS
IS STILL UNCERTAIN...A STRONGER UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS
THE AREA LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY CREATES A SOMEWHAT HIGHER
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

STORM SPOTTER ACTIVATION SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED TONIGHT OR TUESDAY.
