    Areas affected...southern Nebraska and northern Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 012024Z - 012230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage to increase in coverage through the
    afternoon. All hazards will be possible including damaging winds,
    large hail, and a tornado or two.

    DISCUSSION...A surface warm front is slowly lifting northward across
    northern Kansas into southern Nebraska this afternoon. The
    progression of this feature has lagged morning operational guidance,
    with widespread cloud cover and cooler temperatures continuing
    across much of central/northern Nebraska. Upstream of this region, a
    shortwave is tracking eastward along with an attendant southeastward
    sinking cold front.=20

    In the last hour, thunderstorms have developed near the dryline/warm
    front intersection near the NE/KS western border between these
    boundaries which is characterized by temperatures in the upper 70s
    to 80s with MLCAPE around 1000-2500 J/kg. Deep layer shear around
    40-50 kts is observed in surface objective analysis which will
    support discrete to semi-discrete supercell development ahead of the
    cold front, with potential for a tornado or two with cells near the
    lifting warm front where low-level vorticity can be maximized amid
    backed east to southeasterly low-level flow. With time, mode will
    likely shift to become more linear, posing an increasing threat for
    damaging wind, with potentially some significant 75+ mph, through
    the evening. A watch will be needed to cover this threat.
