    Areas affected...Southern Nebraska into central Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 012000Z - 012230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Initial thunderstorm development is anticipated across
    northwest Kansas in the next 1-2 hours. The severe threat associated
    with these storms will increase as they move into central Kansas and south-central Nebraska. Watch issuance is probable by early evening
    for parts of the area.

    DISCUSSION...GOES visible imagery shows building, high-based cumulus
    developing along/just behind the dryline in northwest Kansas. Based
    on current temperature/dewpoint observations and recent forecast
    soundings, this convection will likely remain somewhat shallow with
    limited buoyancy (around 250 MUCAPE). However, very dry
    boundary-layer conditions may promote sporadic strong downburst
    winds with this initial convection. With time, this activity is
    expected to spread east and impinge on a theta-e axis building
    downstream across north-central KS into south-central NE. This will
    promote intensification with an attendant increase in severe wind
    and large hail potential as the deepening convection begins to be
    influenced by strong mid/upper-level flow. A supercell or two may
    emerge from this activity later this evening and could pose a
    large/very-large hail threat. The tornado threat associated with any established supercells is expected to remain limited until later
    this evening when richer moisture returns into the region. Watch
    issuance is probable by early evening to address these concerns.
