Platte NE to 30 miles north of Cheyenne WY. For a complete depiction
of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS

favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.
