   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 395
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   155 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Northern and Central Nebraska

   * Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 155 PM until
     900 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
       to 80 mph possible
     Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events
       to 3 inches in diameter possible
     A tornado or two possible

   SUMMARY...Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected to develop and
   increase through mid/late afternoon, initially across north-central
   Nebraska. This includes the potential for supercells capable of very
   large hail, and possibly some tornado risk. Over time, storms will
   merge, with a broader complex of southeastward-moving storms likely
   evolving regionally by early evening.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 90
   statute miles east and west of a line from 30 miles north northeast
   of Ainsworth NE to 5 miles west southwest of Kearney NE. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
   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.

   &&

   AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
   3 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 70 knots. A
   few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector
   29035.
