   Areas affected...Southeastern South Dakota...Northern Nebraska

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 280558Z - 280730Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...A severe threat is expected to move east-northeastward
   across southeastern South Dakota and far northern Nebraska over the
   next few hours. Large hail, wind damage and a tornado threat are
   expected. Weather watch issuance will be needed to the east of the
   ongoing watch.

   DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows a severe line
   segment from far northern Nebraska into far southern South Dakota.
   This line will move east-northeastward along a gradient of moderate
   instability, where the RAP has MLCAPE in the 1500 to 2500 J/g range.
   In addition to the instability, warm advection and large-scale
   ascent associated with a shortwave trough will support the line over
   the next few hours. The latest VWP in northern Nebraska has 0-6 km
   shear of 40 to 45 knots, and a gradually veering wind with height in
   the low to mid-levels, suggesting that a severe threat will
   continue. Large hail and severe gusts will be likely within the
   stronger components of the line. Strong low-level shear will also
   support a tornado threat with embedded rotating cells within the
   line.
