    Areas affected...portions of extreme northeastern Colorado into
    southwestern Nebraska and far northwestern Kansas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 390...

    Valid 250158Z - 250300Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 390
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe wind and hail may continue with ongoing supercells.
    There is some indication of upscale growth into an MCS. Should this
    occur, then severe winds will become the predominant threat.

    DISCUSSION...MRMS mosaic radar data depicts multiple supercells
    progressing southward across western/central NE. Some of these
    storms have a history of severe wind and hail, with the latest
    mosaic MRMS MESH data showing multiple storms potentially producing
    2+ inch diameter hail. Based on the last few runs of the HRRR and
    WoFS ensemble guidance, it appears that supercells will persist for
    at least a few more hours, accompanied by both severe hail and
    gusts. However, as also shown by the HRRR/WoFS, cold pool mergers
    with ongoing supercells may encourage upscale growth into an MCS in
    a few hours, with severe gusts becoming the main threat. Regardless
    of storm morphology and evolution, the 00Z mesoanalysis shows 1500+
    J/kg MLCAPE and 50+ kts of effective bulk shear preceding the
    ongoing storms, so the severe wind and hail should persist in some
    form through the evening hours.
