Areas affected...north-central/northeast

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 291...

Valid 200409Z - 200545Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 291
continues.

SUMMARY...An pronounced bowing line of severe thunderstorms will
pose a threat for damaging winds east of Severe Thunderstorm Watch
291, and a downstream watch will be issued prior to 05z.

DISCUSSION...A pronounced bowing line of severe thunderstorms
extended from Kearney County NE south to Russell County, KS at 04z. 
The line was moving northeast at 50 mph, and has produced numerous
severe wind reports, several in excess of 80 mph.  A strengthening
low-level jet and MUCAPE in excess of 3000 J/kg along and south of
an east-west stationary front will provide a very favorable
environment for the system to maintain its structure and damaging
wind potential into far eastern NE, northwest MO and portions of
western IA into the early morning hours.  Thus, a new Severe
Thunderstorm Watch will be needed prior to 05z.
