Tornado Watch #0287

Locations Affected

Northern into Central Kansas

Southern Nebraska

Tornado Watch Summary

Isolated to scattered supercells are forecast to develop and intensify this afternoon into the early evening. Large to giant hail will be possible with the supercells. A tornado risk with the possibility for a couple of tornadoes will seemingly develop later this afternoon into the early evening coincident with perhaps some enhancement of low-level shear. Upscale growth into a severe linear cluster is forecast to eventually evolve this evening with severe gusts becoming more prevalent. Significant severe gusts ranging from 75-90 mph are possible this evening as this storm evolution occurs.

Severe Weather Threats

Tornado Watch #0288

Locations Affected

Northeast Colorado

Far Northwest Kansas

Far Southwest Nebraska

Tornado Watch Summary

Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast to develop this afternoon and evening. The stronger storms will likely become supercellular and pose a risk for a couple of tornadoes, large to giant hail (1 to 4 inches in diameter), and severe gusts. Some clustering of storms is possible later this evening with the severe wind threat becoming more prevalent, but a lingering risk for large hail and a tornado may continue with any surface-based supercell.
