AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF CENTRAL INTO NORTHERN NEBRASKA
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 592...594...
VALID 180225Z - 180330Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 592, 594
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SEVERE GUSTS/HAIL REMAINS POSSIBLE WITH SUPERCELL
STRUCTURES, AND A TORNADO MAY STILL OCCUR WITH AN INTENSE SUPERCELL
OVER VALLEY COUNTY. IF STORMS IN NORTHERN NEBRASKA CAN GROW UPSCALE
INTO AN MCS, AN ORGANIZED WIND SWATH MAY OCCUR.
DISCUSSION...MULTIPLE SUPERCELLS CONTINUE TO PROGRESS ACROSS CENTRAL
AND NORTHERN NE WITH A HISTORY OF SEVERE GUSTS AND OCCASIONAL LARGE
HAIL. AN INTENSE RIGHT-MOVING SUPERCELL OVER VALLEY COUNTY, NE HAS
ALSO DEMONSTRATED PERIODS OF LOW-LEVEL ROTATION AND REMAINS CAPABLE
OF PRODUCING A TORNADO. IN THE IMMEDIATE TERM, SEVERE WIND AND HAIL
(SOME SIGNIFICANT) REMAINS POSSIBLE WITH ANY MATURE SUPERCELL
STRUCTURE GIVEN 3000+ J/KG MLCAPE AND OVER 40 KTS OF EFFECTIVE BULK
SHEAR IN PLACE. KLNX RADAR TRENDS SHOW SEVERAL SUPERCELL STRUCTURES
AND ACCOMPANYING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES MERGING OVER CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN NE. THIS IS WHERE SEVERAL OF THE LATEST HRRR RUNS HAVE ALSO
DEPICTED UPSCALE GROWTH INTO A COLD-POOL-DRIVEN MCS. IF THIS TREND
CONTINUES, AN ORGANIZED SWATH OF STRONG TO SEVERE GUSTS MAY MANIFEST
OVER CENTRAL INTO EASTERN NE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. HOWEVER,
MLCINH WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGH THE EVENING. THE CURRENT
THINKING IS THAT STORMS THAT FAIL TO GROW UPSCALE OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS MAY BEGIN TO DIMINISH WITH BOUNDARY-LAYER DECOUPLING.
