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

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

This evening and overnight, thunderstorm chances will increase as
a large complex of storms is expected to push across most of our
area from west-to-east...primarily between 9 PM and 4 AM. Some of
these storms could be severe, and the entire area is under a
Marginal to Slight Risk for severe activity. The overall-
greatest threat for severe storms will favor counties along and
especially west of the Highway 281 corridor, and the main hazards
will be damaging winds up to 65 MPH and hail up to quarter size
hail. A few brief tornadoes can`t be ruled out along the leading
edge of the line of storms, as well.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for counties located
along and west of Highway 281. Please see the watch message for
additional details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

Starting with thunderstorm potential:
Although day-to-day details are still plenty uncertain, each and
every day and night period, except Sunday daytime, currently carry at
least small chances for thunderstorms for at least portions of
the area...some of which could occasionally be severe.

At this time, the majority of the area is under a Marginal to
Slight Risk for severe activity Saturday late afternoon and
evening, mainly between 5 PM and Midnight. Should any severe
storms develop, they would primarily favor counties along and
east of Highway 81, with quarter size hail and wind gusts up to
around 60 MPH being the main threats.

Turning to hot weather concerns:
Sunday and Monday currently appear to be the overall-hottest days
of the next week, with actual high temperatures well into the 90s
in most places, and heat index values peaking between 100 and 105
degrees, especially along and south of the state line.
Fortunately, at least breezy south winds are forecast each day.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to
report any hail, wind gusts around 55 MPH or higher...including
any specific damage, and also any possible localized flooding that
may occur.
