    Areas affected...Central and Eastern Nebraska

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 442...

    Valid 030051Z - 030145Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 442
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A severe threat is expected to develop across parts of
    central and eastern Nebraska this evening. Severe wind gusts and
    isolated large hail will be possible. Weather watch issuance may be
    needed this evening.

    DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a very moist airmass
    in place over central and eastern Nebraska, where many observation
    sites have dewpoints in the lower 70s F. This is contributing to
    strong instability, with the RAP showing MLCAPE ranging from around
    4500 J/kg in southern Nebraska to near 2500 J/kg in northeastern
    Nebraska. To the west of this axis of instability, a mid-level
    shortwave trough is evident on water vapor imagery over the central
    High Plains. As this feature moves eastward into the central Plains
    and as the low-level jet strengthens, convective coverage is
    expected to increase. Along and near the axis of instability, the
    RAP has 0-6 km shear in the 30 to 40 knot range, suggesting that a
    severe threat will be possible. The primary threat will be damaging
    wind gusts, but isolated large hail will also be possible.
