Areas affected...central Nebraska

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 170808Z - 170945Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will continue to develop this morning across
Nebraska. Although an isolated large hail report or two may occur,
the overall trend should preclude the need for a watch.

DISCUSSION...A west-to-east band of thunderstorms have developed
this morning across central Nebraska in the wake of last evening's
MCS. More specifically, these storms have developed within a
warm-air advection (WAA)/isentropic ascent regime in the
850-700-millibar layer ascending atop the outflow-modified boundary
layer remnant from last evening's convection.=20

These elevated thunderstorms will have access to MUCAPE around 1500
J/kg and the strongest of the updrafts -- typically early in their
lifecycle -- will be capable of producing hail. With time, the
continued WAA should support a congealing of thunderstorm updrafts
and a lessening of any severe potential. Thus, a watch is not
anticipated.
