...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT NORTHEASTERN YORK AND POLK
COUNTIES THROUGH 500 PM CDT...

At 418 PM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking strong thunderstorms
capable of producing a landspout along a line extending from near
Osceola to near York. Movement was east at 30 mph.

HAZARD...Landspouts, wind gusts up to 40 mph, and half inch hail.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Minor damage to outdoor objects is possible. Gusty winds
         could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured
         objects.

Strong thunderstorms will be near...
  Osceola and Shelby around 425 PM CDT.
  Gresham around 435 PM CDT.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Although typically weaker and shorter lived than tornadoes associated
with organized supercell thunderstorms, landspout tornadoes can still
cause injury or minor damage. Landspouts develop as a surface front
or wind shift line interact with a towering cumulus cloud or
developing thunderstorms. Landspouts are not usually associated with
a wall cloud and are often difficult to detect with weather radar.

If a landspout is sighted, first take any necessary tornado safety
precautions, and then report the landspout activity to the National
Weather Service in Hastings and local law enforcement.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 800 PM CDT for
central and east central Nebraska.
