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



Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are forecast to lift north
from north central Kansas into south central Nebraska. The vast
majority of the outlook area is under at least a Marginal to
Slight Risk of severe storms this afternoon into the overnight
hours. However, the area of greatest concern is the far southern
tier counties of Nebraska and north central Kansas. Particularly
within this Enhanced Risk area, some storms will be capable of
producing large hail of at least golf ball size, damaging winds of
at least 60 MPH, an isolated tornado can`t be completely ruled
out along and south of the Nebraska/Kansas border this evening.

In addition to the severe weather threat, heavy rain is likely at
times tonight across much of the outlook area, with some places
receiving at least 1 to 2 inches, with localized higher amounts
possible. Pockets of flooding and perhaps flash flooding cannot be
ruled out, especially if heavy rain occurs over some of the same
areas that had substantial rain a few nights ago.



During the daytime Sunday, isolated to scattered thunderstorm
activity will remain possible. The majority of storms should be
fairly weak, but a few stronger to marginally severe storms are
possible, with the main threat being hail up to the size of
quarters.

Late Sunday night into Monday morning, it could get cold enough
to make frost a possibility, mainly north and west of the Tri
Cities. Sub-freezing temperatures are possible if conditions skies
are able to clear out and winds drop off.

Between Tuesday and Thursday, periodic thunderstorm chances exist
for various parts of the area. It is too early to confidently
assess the potential for any severe storms during this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encourage to report any instances of severe weather
or flooding that might occur this afternoon and tonight.
