.DISCUSSION...
ELONGATED SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL NEBRASKA INTO WEST
CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA WILL INTENSIFY THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  AS THIS
SYSTEM INCREASES...AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL INTENSIFY CREATING
AN INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SUPERCELLS. STRONG
SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OVER EASTERN COLORADO IS EXPECTED TO SLIDE NORTH
INTO CENTRAL NEBRASKA BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. BACK EDGE OF
CONVECTION ACROSS NEBRASKA TIED TO SURFACE WARM FRONT.  EXPECT WARM
FRONT TO LIFT NORTH INTO THE SOUTHERN CWA THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTH OF
THE FRONT...MAINLY A SMATTERING OF MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL ALLOW
FOR INCREASED DESTABLIZATION.  IN ADDITION...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
POOLING SOUTH OF THE FRONT WITH DEW POINTS RISING INTO THE UPPER 60S
TO NEAR 70 DEGREES.  HAD PROBLEMS WITH 12Z KOAX SOUNDING...HOWEVER
FURTHER TO THE SOUTH 12Z KTOP SOUNDING INDICATING A LOADED GUN WITH
MORE THAN SUFFICIENT SHEAR AND DRY ADIABATIC LAPSE RATES FROM 850 TO
500 MB.

SHEAR EXPECT MOST STORMS TO ROTATE...WITH MAINLY LARGE HAIL AND
TORNADO THREAT INCREASING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS AS
STORMS BECOME SURFACE BASED.
