Northwest Kansas
Southwest Nebraska

A couple tornadoes possible
Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 85
mph likely

inches in diameter possible
SUMMARY…Multiple discrete supercells will develop into far eastern
Colorado with all severe hazards possible. These storms will likely
consolidate and evolve into a bowing MCS that accelerates east along
the Kansas-Nebraska border. This will yield an increasing risk for
significant severe wind gusts later this evening.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 90 statute miles
north and south of a line from 65 miles west southwest of Imperial
NE to 25 miles south southeast of Mccook NE. For a complete

area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
and possible warnings.
