MD 0685 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 188… FOR CENTRAL NEBRASKA
Mesoscale Discussion 0685
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1104 PM CDT Fri May 05 2023
Areas affected...central Nebraska
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 188...
Valid 060404Z - 060600Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 188
continues.
SUMMARY...A small cluster of strong/severe storms will continue
moving eastward across parts of central Nebraska, where severe risk
will linger.
DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a small -- but vigorous --
cluster of storms moving eastward across portions of central
Nebraska at this time. The most vigorous updrafts are crossing
Dawson/Frontier/Gosper counties at this time, where threat for
damaging wind gusts and hail continues.
With time, storms will continue moving eastward, aided by a
southerly low-level jet now observed across the southern and into
the central Plains states. With ample instability east of the
ongoing convection, expect storms to persist, though a gradual
decrease in severe potential should commence after midnight. With
that said, the degree of risk which could persist beyond the
scheduled 06/05Z expiration of WW 188 could warrant an extension of
the WW in time for portions of central Nebraska.
