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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

This afternoon, heat index values as hot as 100 to 102 degrees
are forecast mainly south of a line from Cambridge Nebraska to
Beloit Kansas.

This evening through the overnight hours, a line of strong to
severe thunderstorms is expected to move through much of the
forecast area from northwest to southeast, with the potential to
produce damaging wind gusts near 70 MPH, hail up to the size of
golf balls, and very heavy rainfall rates. An isolated tornado is
not out of the question. The primary time frame of concern is 8 PM
to 2 AM.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

A few isolated storms may continue on into the daytime hours on
Wednesday, but better thunderstorm chances return for the evening
and overnight hours, especially for areas south of Interstate 80
and into north central Kansas. Some of these storms may be strong
to marginally severe, and also produce heavy rain.

Thursday is expected to remain dry for much of the area, with off
and on chances for thunderstorms returning Friday through Monday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encouraged to report strong wind gusts, hail of any
size, or any flooding that might occur this evening and tonight.
