...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT ROOKS COUNTY THROUGH 300 PM
CDT...

At 231 PM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking a cluster of strong
thunderstorms capable of producing a landspout along a line extending
from near Stockton to 7 miles north of Ogallah. Movement was
northeast at 15 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...
  Stockton, Palco, and Webster State Park around 235 PM CDT.
  Zurich around 240 PM CDT.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building.

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
north central Kansas.
