THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AS A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE
EXISTS OVER THE FORECAST AREA. AN EAST TO WEST FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WILL TRAVERSE NORTH ACROSS NEBRASKA SERVING AS THE FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THE MAIN THREAT FROM ANY STORM THAT
DEVELOPS IS EXTREMELY LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS...HOWEVER
GIVEN SUFFICIENT SHEAR IN THE ATMOSPHERE...THE THREAT OF A TORNADO
IS POSSIBLE. LATER IN THE EVENT...AS A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET
DEVELOPS OVERNIGHT...THE STORMS WILL TRANSITION INTO A CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AND STRONG
DAMAGING WINDS. GIVEN RECENT RAINFALL OVER MUCH OF THE
REGION...FLOODING OF CREEKS AND RIVERS IS CERTAINLY
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IF THUNDERSTORMS TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN IN AND NEAR THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH MID WEEK...ALLOWING FOR THE POTENTIAL OF MORE
THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE SEVERE. ABUNDANT MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED...THUS HEAVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY IN THE
REGION...THIS WOULD EXACERBATE THE FLOODING THREAT FURTHER.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED.
