Valid 170100Z - 171200Z



...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN

KANSAS AND SOUTHERN NEBRASKA...



...SUMMARY...

Severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail,

severe/damaging winds (some 75+ mph), and a couple tornadoes remain

possible tonight, especially across southern Nebraska and northern

Kansas.



...01z Update - Central Plains/Missouri Valley...

Primary scenario this evening will be an upscale-growing/organizing

cluster of storms across northern Kansas and southern Nebraska. A

bit more spatial room has been given (southward adjusted) across

northern Kansas (mostly north of I-70) for what may still be a

post-01z increasing damaging wind potential, including

significant-caliber wind gusts across northern Kansas and far

southern Nebraska, aside from a lingering broad regional potential

for some large hail as well. Measured 85 mph gusts have recently

been reported near Colby, Kansas.
