Areas affected...portions of northeastern Kansas and southeastern
Nebraska...and into southwestern Iowa and northwestern Missouri

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 622...

Valid 150009Z - 150145Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 622
continues.

SUMMARY...A few severe storms -- including a persistent supercell --
are now ongoing across portions of WW 622 near the northeast
Kansas/southeast Nebraska border.  Large hail remains the primary
threat, though a damaging outflow gust and/or brief tornado are also
possible.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop across the Mid-MO Valley area shows
several vigorous updrafts, a couple of which have exhibited
transient rotational signatures per area WSR-88D data.  The most
organized/long-lived cell is moving northeastward across Gage
County, though this storm too now appears to be weakening.  Overall,
the environment supports strong/rotating storms; the co*bination of
a moist (70s dewpoints) and very unstable (3000-plus J/kg
mixed-layer CAPE) environment, co*bined with the presence of a
northwest-to-southeast remnant outflow providing focused low-level
ascent, suggests additional strong/severe storm development over the
next couple of hours.  In addition, recent CAM output continues to
hint at potential for storm development near/ahead of a surface cold
front slowly advancing across central Nebraska, which would be
expected to move into/across northwestern portions of WW 622 later
this evening.  Given a similarly sheared/unstable environment ahead
of the front, potential for large hail and damaging wind gusts would
likely acco*pany these storms, presuming development as anticipated.
