    Areas affected...Eastern NE...Far Western IA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 111938Z - 112145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms capable of all severe hazards,
    including tornadoes, are expected to begin developing within the
    next 2 hours. A Tornado Watch will likely be needed.

    DISCUSSION...Cumulus field continues to increases within the narrow
    warm sector across eastern NE, just ahead of an approaching cold
    front. Recent surface analysis places a low about 30 mi north of YKN
    in far southeast SD, with a cold front extending southwestward
    across eastern NE and into central KS. A warm front also extends
    southeastward from the low across far southwest IA and
    north-central/northwest MO. High-resolution visible satellite
    imagery also appears to reveal a southwestward progressing outflow
    boundary beneath the thicker clouds over far southeast SD.

    Warm-sector between these features is characterized by temperatures
    in the upper 80s, dewpoints in upper 60s/low 70s, and strong
    instability. Latest mesoanalysis estimates MLCAPE over 3000 J/kg
    with little, if any, convective inhibition remaining immediately
    ahead of the front. Consequently, continued convergence in this
    environment will likely lead to convective initiation within the
    next hour or so. Once this occurs, rapid thunderstorm development is anticipated with storms quickly becoming severe. Primary severe
    threat appears to be large hail, some of which could be greater than
    2 inches in diameter. Additionally, the favorable low-level shear
    may contribute to some increased tornado potential as well. Tall,
    water-loaded updrafts will also result in a threat for strong wind
    gusts. A watch will likely be needed across portions of the area to
    address this anticipated severe threat.
