At 420 PM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking strong thunderstorms

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...
  Guide Rock and Lebanon around 425 PM CDT.
  Lawrence around 430 PM CDT.
  Esbon around 435 PM CDT.

Other locations in the path of these storms include Burr Oak and
Bostwick.

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
north central Kansas...and south central Nebraska.
