This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of western and north
central Nebraska.

.DAY ONE...Rest of this afternoon and Tonight.

Rain and thunderstorm chances increase quickly Monday evening
including the threat for severe weather. Large hail up to baseball
size and damaging wind gusts near 75 mph are the main concerns though
a tornado or two cannot be ruled out. The areas most prone to these
hazards are south of Highway 92 and west of Highway 183. A damaging
wind threat may potentially last into early Tuesday morning for
central Nebraska.

All thunderstorms will be capable of heavy rain with potential for
brief periods of one inch per hour rain rates. While widespread
flash flooding is not anticipated, localized flooding as well as
rises on area streams and rivers are possible. As such, a Flood
Watch has been issued for portions of southwest Nebraska through
Tuesday morning.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

The threat for locally heavy rain will continue through Tuesday
morning, mainly for areas east of Highway 61. Rain and thunderstorms
are expected to taper off during the afternoon hours Tuesday. Event
total rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are likely with localized
amounts approaching 3 inches possible.

Additional thunderstorm development is possible Tuesday evening west
of Highway 83, but no severe weather is expected at this time.

Rain and thunderstorms are again likely late Thursday into Friday.
Currently, the threat for severe weather with this activity is low.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will likely be needed, mainly this evening and
late tonight across southwest and central Nebraska. The public is
encouraged to submit reports of observed severe weather to the NWS
North Platte office.
