   AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHWEST NEB/WESTERN KS

   CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 144...146...

   VALID 080204Z - 080330Z

   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
   144...146...CONTINUES.

   SUMMARY...THE POTENTIAL FOR MAINLY HAIL WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING
   ACROSS PARTS OF WESTERN KS/SOUTHWEST NEB. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
   WATCHES 144/146 ARE CURRENTLY SCHEDULED TO EXPIRE AT 03Z...BUT THE
   POSSIBILITY OF TEMPORAL WATCH EXTENSIONS /1-2 HR/ WILL BE EVALUATED
   OVER THE NEXT HOUR.

   DISCUSSION...AN EASTWARD-MOVING COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO OVERTAKE
   EARLIER TORNADO-PRODUCING SUPERCELLS ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST CO...WITH
   THIS MERGING CLUSTER OF STORMS STILL REMAINING CAPABLE OF SOME
   SEVERE HAIL/LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS EXTREME NORTHEAST CO/FAR
   SOUTHWEST NEB IN THE SHORT-TERM. 

   FARTHER EAST/SOUTH...OTHER ISOLATED NORTHEAST-MOVING HIGH-BASED
   STORMS HAVE INCREASED OVER THE PAST HOUR ACROSS WESTERN KS TO THE
   EAST OF THE DRYLINE...AND ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEB TO THE NORTH OF THE
   WEST-EAST FRONT. ISOLATED BOUTS OF SEVERE HAIL WILL REMAIN A
   POSSIBILITY WITH THESE STORMS THIS EVENING /POTENTIALLY BEYOND
   03Z/...ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL SEVERE POTENTIAL SHOULD DIMINISH INTO
   LATE EVENING/OVERNIGHT.
