    Areas affected...East-central Nebraska

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 147...

    Valid 020008Z - 020215Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 147 continues.

    SUMMARY...The wind damage and large hail threat is expected to
    increase over the next few hours across parts of east-central
    Nebraska. A tornado threat may also develop.

    DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a cold front moving
    through north-central Nebraska with a narrow corridor of maximized
    low-level moisture ahead of the front where dewpoints are in the
    upper 60s and lower 70s F. Strong to severe thunderstorms are
    developing along this corridor where the RAP is showing strong
    instability with MLCAPE values in 3000 to 4000 J/kg range. In
    addition, the Hastings, NE WSR-88D VWP shows moderate deep-layer
    shear which appears representative of most of central Nebraska. This environment will support a threat for large hail and wind damage
    with the supercells early this evening. The storms will gradually
    move eastward but storm coverage will increase southward over the
    next few hours. Evidence of this southward development exists near
    McCook, NE where convection has recently initiated.

    The instability and shear combined with steep mid-level lapse rates
    may also enable the stronger supercells to produce hailstones
    greater than 2 inches in diameter. The convection will eventually
    organize into a linear MCS and move southeastward along the
    instability gradient into parts of south-central and southeast
    Nebraska later this evening. A few tornadoes may also occur with the
    more dominant supercells as low-level shear increases.
