Areas affected...parts of southwestern Nebraska and adjacent
northern Kansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

Valid 210125Z - 210300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...An intensifying supercell and perhaps small upscale
growing convective cluster appears likely to continue developing
eastward along a frontal zone into portions of southwestern Nebraska
and adjacent northern Kansas through 10 PM-Midnight CDT.  This will
be accompanied by increasing potential for large hail, severe wind
gusts and a few tornadoes.  A new watch likely will be issued within
the next hour or so.

DISCUSSION...More substantive intensification of convection across
northeastern Colorado is now underway, including one supercell now
propagating eastward across the Akron CO vicinity.  As activity
continues eastward, strengthening easterly low-level updraft inflow
will become increasingly unstable with deeper progression into the
plains.  This likely will support further upscale growth, including,
at least initially, an enlarging supercell, then perhaps a gradually
upscale growing cluster focused along the baroclinic zone (roughly
centered around 700 mb) extending eastward near/north of the
Kansas/Nebraska border vicinity.
