0144 PM CDT THU MAY 29 2008

AREAS AFFECTED...WCNTRL NEB...NW KS

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY

VALID 291844Z - 291945Z

A TORNADO THREAT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AS STORMS INITIATE AND
INCREASE IN INTENSITY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. LARGE HAIL AND
ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE ALSO APPEAR LIKELY. A TORNADO WATCH WILL BE
NEEDED ACROSS THE REGION WITH ISSUANCE LIKELY BY 20Z.

LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A 1005 MB LOW OVER ERN CO WITH A DRYLINE
EXTENDING SSEWD ACROSS WRN KS. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES
CUMULUS IS FORMING OVER ERN CO AND THE CUMULUS SHOULD EXPAND IN
COVERAGE AS SFC HEATING CONTINUES. THE LATEST SHORT-TERM MODEL
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THUNDERSTORM INITIATION WILL TAKE PLACE ACROSS SW
NEB AND NW KS WITH STORMS GRADUALLY MOVING NEWD INTO INCREASING
INSTABILITY. SBCAPE VALUES ABOVE 3000 J/KG AND MODERATE VERTICAL
SHEAR ON REGIONAL PROFILERS ALONG WITH STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR
PROFILES ASSOCIATED WITH A 40 TO 50 KT LOW-LEVEL JET JUST EAST OF
THE MCD AREA SUGGEST A THREAT FOR SUPERCELLS WITH TORNADOES...LARGE
HAIL AND ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE. AN ISOLATED STRONG TORNADO WILL BE
POSSIBLE AS STORMS MATURE LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS PARTS OF WCNTRL
AND SRN NEB.
