507 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

 DAY ONE  Today and Tonight.

Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible through around
10AM this morning, mainly for areas along and south of the 
Nebraska, Kansas state line. The primary severe threat will be 
large hail up to half dollar size.

Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible
this evening into the overnight. Scattered thunderstorms are
forecast to develop just southwest of the outlook area, in central
and northwest Kansas, late this afternoon and early evening, then
shift northeast with time this evening. Large hail up to golf 
ball size, damaging wind gusts, and a tornado or two are possible
with this initial round of activity southwest of the Tri-Cities. 
Additional thunderstorms are forecast to develop further north
into the rest of south central Nebraska during the overnight 
hours, and also be on the strong to severe side. Large hail is the
primary severe threat late overnight.

 DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN  Friday through Wednesday.

The main upper level disturbance will only slow shift through the
outlook area on Friday, so another round of strong to severe
thunderstorms will be possible, especially if development occurs
as early as late morning or early afternoon. Large hail, damaging
wind gusts, and a few tornadoes will all be possible from late
morning through late afternoon. Areas from around and to the north
and east of the Tri-Cities have the greatest risk.

Additional off and on thunderstorms are possible late Saturday
afternoon into Sunday, and again Tuesday evening into Wednesday.
Severe weather chances continue into Saturday, particularly for
areas around and to the east and south of the Tri-Cities.

Non-thunderstorm south to southwest wind gusts of 40 to 45 MPH 
will be possible Friday afternoon, particularly for areas along 
and south of the Platte River.

 SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT  

Spotters are encouraged to report any instances of severe weather
