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

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Thunderstorms are forecast to increase from the west and southwest
this evening, and impact much of south central Nebraska and north
central Kansas overnight. The greatest risk for severe weather
will be along and especially south of Interstate 80, where a
Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 2AM. Hail up to golf
ball size and damaging wind gusts around 60 MPH are the main 
threats in north central Kansas. Further north in south central 
Nebraska, there is a lesser risk for severe wind, and large hail 
of quarter to ping pong ball size is expected. Localized flash 
flooding is also possible, particularly in areas that received 
heavy rain late last week. Thunderstorms should weaken below 
severe levels by around 3AM.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

A few thunderstorms may linger in eastern portions of the area on
Thursday, but severe weather is not expected.

Another chance for thunderstorms arrives Friday night into 
Saturday morning. Some of these storms may be strong to severe. 

Thunderstorm chances continue from Saturday night through Monday
night with strong to severe storms possible on Monday. 

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encouraged to report any occurrences of hail or
damaging winds.
