712 PM CDT Sun Jun 5 2022

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and
portions of north central Kansas.

.DAY ONE...This Evening and Overnight.

Thunderstorms remain possible anywhere in the outlook area, but
primarily before midnight. Some of these storms will be severe,
especially in some Nebraska counties mainly west of Highway 281,
along with parts of north central Kansas. This evening, isolated
to scattered storms will first enter into or develop within
northern and western local counties, before possibly organizing
into a larger-scale storm complex that tracks south-southeast
through more of the area. Storms should depart far south-
southeast parts of the outlook area by around or shortly after
midnight, with no further threat of severe storms anticipated.

The primary threats with any severe storms that remain more
isolated will be hail up to around golf ball size and wind gusts
up to around 60 MPH. However, if a larger-scale storm complex
organizes, it could perhaps cause more damaging winds to around
70 MPH. In addition, limited pockets of the outlook area could
receive heavy rainfall of 1 to 2 inches through the evening. This
could cause minor flooding issues, in addition to ongoing flooding
issues from earlier very heavy rain that impacted parts of
Phillips and Rooks counties in Kansas.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Between late Monday afternoon and Friday night, various, on-and-
off chances for thunderstorms continue, some of which could be
strong to severe. The main exception to these daily storm chances
currently appears to be Wednesday into Wednesday night, which
currently appears to be the most likely time frame to be storm-
free. Please note that because all of these upcoming thunderstorm
chances will be associated with fairly weak upper level
disturbances, there is fairly low forecast confidence in day-to-
day details such as timing, most favored locations and the
magnitude of any severe storm threat. Although details regarding
severe storm potential will be best assessed one day at a time,
the overall greatest periods of concern currently appear to be
the late afternoon and or evening hours on Monday, Tuesday and
Thursday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encouraged to report any instances of hail, damaging
winds or flooding.
