    Areas affected...Southeast Nebraska into southern Iowa and far
    northwest Missouri

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 232158Z - 240000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Developing thunderstorms across southeast Nebraska will
    likely intensify over the coming hours, and will pose a risk for
    large hail and severe wind. Watch issuance may be needed to address
    this threat.

    DISCUSSION...Over the past 30-60 minutes, a cluster of cumulus has
    shown steady deepening on the intersection of the cold front and a
    subtle surface trough. A few deeper towers are noted in IR and
    low-level water-vapor imagery, which suggests convective initiation
    is probable within the next hour or so. 50-60 knot winds between 6-8
    km AGL is supporting elongated hodographs with effective bulk shear
    values between 40-50 knots. This kinematic environment should
    support organized convection, including the potential for splitting
    supercells (though the propensity for splitting cells is somewhat
    uncertain given strong ascent along the front, which may foster
    somewhat quick upscale growth). The thermodynamic environment
    immediately downstream is becoming increasingly supportive for
    robust convection as surface temperatures warm into the upper 70s;
    however, cooler temperatures further east into southern IA/northern
    MO in the wake of prior convection cast some uncertainty onto the
    downstream intensity. Regardless, the severe threat is expected to
    increase in the coming hours across southeast NE into adjacent areas
    of IA and MO, and watch issuance is probable.
