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

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Isolated severe storms may develop early this evening along a
stationary front located across far southwest Nebraska into central
Nebraska. Storms will initially be capable of producing large hail,
damaging winds, and an isolated tornado. Additional thunderstorms are
likely to develop further north across the Sandhills and north
central Nebraska mid evening into the overnight hours. These storms
will pose a threat for large hail, damaging winds and locally heavy
rainfall.

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

An active weather pattern will bring daily chances for thunderstorms
into the first part of next week. Some storms may produce isolated
wind damage, large hail, and locally heavy rainfall, especially
east of Highway 61.

There is potential for additional showers and thunderstorms mid to
late next week though at this time the threat for severe weather is
uncertain.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed.
